This policy change would increase tax revenue overall while reducing individual tax liability. Deductions create a situation where self-employed people as well as corporations are incentivised to falsify their documents to avoid paying taxes. In a best case scenario, they donate to their favorite organization who in turn donates in one way or another back to them thus netting 0 losses while enabling all parties involved to avoid taxes. The current system puts the brunt of the obligation on the individual middle-class taxpayer to provide a large portion of the operating funds for the country inadvertently leading to negative economic side-effects.
