“close loopholes” = “tax that which was not taxed before”.
oh come on your not that dense.... loopholes where put there as incentives, but where not made to be permanent- that simply would not be fair.
so from your statement “tax that which was not taxed before” = “new taxes”. I assume you don’t believe in a flatten tax so more people pay it?
you clearly need to think this out Duncan.
I believe in figuring out how much money the government needs to operate, dividing by the number of people over age 18, and sending everyone their bill for that amount.
