Our tax code is awful- I am a moron on economic matters, and I can see that. I don't think we have the guts to do it, but I would like to see us scrap the entire thing and start over.
To simplify things:
1. Start with a completely flat tax
2. Decide on how many bi-partisan ammendments/exemptions can be added to it- and set a clear limit. Each would last one year and be renewable. Each could only include one thing from each side.
What I would expect this to do, is put the top priority from each side of the aisle on the same bill, which would make that easiest to extend each year. Then their could be a #2, a #3, and so on.
Now, I know there are probably tons of flaws anyone could point out in such a simple plan, but isn't the complexity of the current system one of the major problems? Make everything simple, and we'll all be happy....even if things aren't better!
