Sensible Tax Reform

(1) Sensible Tax Reform

Sensible Tax Reform--Simple, Just and Effective (STR) is a comprehensive proposal to fundamentally change the nature of the American federal tax system. Our existing federal taxes are complicated, unjust and very damaging to our economy, society and political system. America needs a complete redesign of how our federal government finances itself.

We can no longer simply make more changes to our existing federal tax system and hope to improve it. Repeated efforts to make our current system simple, just and effective have shown again and again that our government in Washington lacks the wisdom and courage to accomplish that. Instead we have been left with an unintelligible tax mess that is beyond repair. Einstein once said that doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results is a sign of insanity. Yet that is what Washington has been doing for generations. It is time to put an end to that insanity. We need a comprehensive reform that totally replaces the tax mess that we have now.

As many analysts of tax reform have advocated, any meaningful reform of the federal tax system should be simple, just and economically effective. Sensible Tax Reform meets that test. It will completely change the way in which both businesses and individuals are taxed. It eliminates most existing federal taxes and replaces them with a truly revolutionary tax system that will greatly benefit Americans and American businesses. It is much simpler than our current federal tax code, with its 70,000+ pages. It is truly just for both businesses and families--unlike our current system. And, it will provide a very strong economic stimulus, which will accelerate economic growth and create millions of new jobs.
