We need a lower, simpler tax


We need a lower, simpler tax.

Reasons to agree

  1. " America's tax code is a labyrinth that imposes an enormous and unnecessary burden on our citizens and employers. Keeping taxes low and simplifying the code will grow the economy and enhance our competitiveness." - Governor Mitt Romney
  2. Raising taxes hurts working people and scares away jobs 
  3. We should lower taxes for everyone.
  4. The worldwide tax code that we currently have is bad ~ Mitt Romney 
  5. We should eliminate taxes for taxpayers with AGI below $200,000 on interest, dividends, and capital gains. ~ Mitt Romney, 2011 

 

Reasons to disagree

  1. There is no such thing as "a tax" there are many different types of taxes. There is no silver bullet.
  2. Tax software is not very expensive, and if there are no major changes in your life, it can take the info you fed in last year, and just update it with new info, and the whole process takes less than an hour. 
  3. We should maintain current tax rates on personal income
