₪₪₪ Could the United States benifit from a simplified US Tax Law for everyone?
We have about 200 publications, equal to that in forms, and spend billions of mailing, recordkeeping, storage, and the endless sorting out of mistakes when they happen every year Americans complete their United States Tax Returns. How do you think we could simplify the tax code without abolishing it for defense purposes and protecting our citizens and those who are TRULY disabled and in need of long-term care? What about a flat rate percentage of tax paid yearly on income set at 20% with no forms to fill out and just an electronic recordkeeping system where your taxes were paid through withholding from income received before you get it? My thoughts on this matter will appear in my group theUSvotingBooth in Yahoo later this week.
I will not accept terroristic or agressive responses on this topic. If you have a remark that is agressive or deciminates violent remarks it will be dealt with. Civil community responses are highly recommended and welcome.
Presently, the United States Government spends billions on sending the over 200+ publications, and 300+ forms to the 200 million or so taxpayers the US says are filing returns regularly. If we used a simpler tax code having everyone pay a flat 20% rage regardless of income and had it withhold every year eliminating those forms, and pubs, and the volumes of confusing laws that go with it then I think it would save is billions.
We could then cut costs by reducing the work force necessary to explain all of those laws and put more to work helping increase the work foce and maybe give our country new knowledge and other capabilities.
What do you think?
No terroristic remarks please – I know taxes are a touchy subject, but let’s remain calm, civil citizens.
