d cut this time very reasonably. The current tax forms are so complex that even tax experts make some mistakes. If there was a wealthy man with 100 times the taxable income of another tax payer, he would pay 100 more times in taxes. This would stop discrimination on all citizens based on there income. The middle class will bear the biggest burden of transitions.(Tannerwald, Robert) This would lower the discrimination between the rich and the poor. This would also exempt the rich from their fair share.(Hitchens, Christopher)A problem with our current tax system is that it is just unfair. It often has different tax burdens on different people with the same incomes. With a flat tax and its single low-rate, it would ensure that all taxpayers would pay their fair share. This would eliminate all tax loopholes. It has been said that the burden of a flat tax will be placed on the shoulders of the rich.(Paul, Ron) In conclusion a flat tax would reduce the federal government’s power over the lives of taxpayers and get the government out of the businesses of trying to manage the economy. There will probably never be a perfect tax for our economy, but a flat tax is about as close as we can get. A flat tax would get the economy where it should be. A flat tax would raise the revenues of government demands. Tax laws should not be used to affect social policy.(Safire, William) I believe that a flat tax would be a good idea. I actually had no idea what a flat tax was until I started to do this report, and I feel that a flat tax would help out our economy a whole bunch.Entin,Stephen 1995. “Treasurt Trips Over Flat Tax Facts.” Washington Times (Jan. 4)Hitchens, Christopher 1994. “Minority Report,” The Nation (Dec. 12) p.716Paul, Ron 1982. “The Flatter the Better?” The Inguiry (Sept.), pp.29-33Safire, William 1982. “The Flat Tax.” New York Times (April 30)Tannerwald, Robert 1983. ...
