We have a complicated tax system that nobody understands. And because it?s so hard to understand, the folks who benefit the most are individuals and businesses who have good tax attorneys/accountants. The system is designed to cause enough money to satisfy government, business, and the individual in that order. If you have a good accountant, you do fine. If not, well we can talk about economic class warfare some other time. Anyway, I?m all for eliminating most if not all of the tax code!
Are we talking about the fairness of business tax policy here or taxes on wealthy individuals and families? It?s rather important I think. Businesses can and do receive tax breaks and for the most part they?re happy especially in modern times when big business has so much influence in DC. Wealthy individuals are highly taxed and have more reason to complain in my view. But still due to the complicated tax code they manage to stay ahead.
In my view the federal government gets to play with far too many american dollars and its time to change that. Simplification of the tax system is a good start. Will it happen under Bush? Yeah, right. Gore? Muhahaha.
