When Forbes ran the numbers a few cycles ago, he showed a 15-19% flat tax with no loopholes was harder in the rich than the thousand page tax code we had at the time. If you believe the hype, it is better for them now than when the flat tax was proposed. With a good sized exemption, I am not sure why it wouldn't work. The problem comes from all of the special interests who thrive on the tax code the way it is. I would do away with rich people and corporate welfare this morning if I was king. That is usually just the payback for a huge bribe. hmmm "contribution" What corporate welfare would you start with? Mikek Tax breaks for companies that moving jobs offshore. Tax breaks for executive "perks". That should be reported as ordinary income. Eliminate a vast number of the federal subsidies given to fund things that do not make sense but are just politically popular.. |

Isn't that the major problem with the government doing anything? As long as politicians direct the government and they take massive amounts of money from big companies, pork will always be where most of the money goes. |
