I am of the opinion that there are two tax rate discussions that need to happen in this nation. They can be summarized by two questions:
What is the minimum tax percentage that everyone, regardless of income or deductions should pay?
and
What is the maximum tax percentage that anyone should have to pay?
Granted there are many other tax discussions that should take place, but these two questions should be addressed by the alternative minimum tax (already exists but needs modification) and the alternative maximum tax (does not exist.
I propose that the minimum should be at least 5% and the maximum should be no more than 25%
