We have in place a complicated tax structure that is unfair to working Americans. A flat tax is still the best way to balance the budget and get the economy moving again. About 26 countries have the flat tax now, and it’s worked wherever it’s been tried. We could have a low rate, generous deductions, and you could literally do your tax return on a single sheet of paper. The $200,000-to-$250,000 a year incomes some consider rich occur during a couple’s peak earning years making increasing taxes on salaries unfair. Also, because of our tax code, a lot of businesses are taxed at personal rates, so it hurts businesses that employ 20-50 people, which is a capital destroyer. It is time to eliminate the current tax system and move to a flat tax system that is fair to every working American.
