Book excerpt: Stanley Surrey's book is the first to analyze all the 'expenditure' aspects of the tax laws and to indicate their amounts and their effects on the country.

Download or read book Pathways to Fiscal Reform in the United States written by John W. Diamond and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2015-01-02 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experts discuss fiscal reforms intended to address the U.S. debt problem, examining entitlements, federal budgetary processes, and individual and corporate income taxes. The United States and other advanced economies in the Eurozone and elsewhere face severe fiscal problems. The United States is on an unsustainable dynamic path; absent corrective fiscal policies, federal deficits and debts relative to gross domestic product will continue to increase dramatically. In this book, experts consider possible fiscal reforms aimed at addressing the debt problem, focusing on entitlement programs, budgetary issues and processes, and individual and corporate income tax reform. The contributors address such topics as the interaction of rising health care costs and the level of federal expenditures; alternative methods for evaluating the fiscal health and sustainability of Social Security; the effectiveness of budgetary constraints imposed on the states, including balanced budget amendments and debt ceilings; approaches to curtailing individual tax expenditures and methods for increasing the progressivity of the tax system; and the effects of traditional base-broadening, rate-reducing corporate income tax reforms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Death of the Income Tax explains how the current income tax is needlessly complex, contains perverse incentives against saving and investment, fails to use modern technology to ease compliance and collection burdens, and is subject to micromanaging and mismanaging by Congress. Daniel Goldberg proposes that the solution to the problems of the current income tax is completely replacing it with a progressive consumption tax collected electronically at the point of sale.

Download or read book The 535 Report written by Dorothy A. Brown and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Essay argues that current tax policies that include special tax rates, loopholes and deductions disadvantage most Americans in favor of income received by a select few - especially members of Congress. The majority of taxpayers of color as well as white taxpayers are not eligible for the loopholes and special tax breaks that currently exist in our tax laws. Tax reform that eliminates special deals as a means to lowering tax rates for all is the best way forward towards a fairer and simpler tax system. Such reform however is unlikely to occur in the absence of a “focusing event” that will galvanize the American public to demand change. My proposal for The 535 Report could be that focusing event.

Download or read book Critical Tax Policy written by Nancy J. Knauer and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Global Recession of 2008 and ensuing austerity measures have renewed the urgency surrounding the call for fundamental tax reform. Before embarking on fundamental tax reform, this Article proposes adding a critical lens to existing US tax policy to ensure that any proposals for change are informed, transparent, and responsive to the needs (and abilities) of individual taxpayers. This Article makes the case for a specific method of inquiry - Critical Tax Policy - that is built on the articulation of difference rather than false assumptions of sameness. Critical Tax Policy incorporates the insights of a growing international tax equity movement that has shown how facially neutral tax policy can reinforce existing inequities or bias. It also incorporates the insights of critical tax scholars who write from a diverse range of outsider perspectives and acknowledges the constitutive role of tax policy in the larger "blueprint for the aims and ambitions of the nation state."Traditional tax policy is focused primarily on distributional concerns defined by income level. Tax policy intentionally looks past the identities of individual taxpayers and is self-consciously indifferent to the impact that taxation can have on existing social, political, and economic disparities. This strong belief in "taxpayer neutrality" is even reflected in data collection practices and, as a result, it is currently impossible to "put a face on America's tax returns." This Article first engages the multiple claims of neutrality in existing tax policy and then outlines the essential components of the critical lens. It also explores practical ways to integrate the key insights of Critical Tax Policy in the development of federal tax policy. These proposals all draw on long-standing institutional traditions and include: 1) enhanced information collection, 2) the creation of a "diversity expenditure budget," and 3) the requirement of a "diversity impact statement."

Book excerpt: As the recent scandal shows, the IRS is big, bad, and out of control. Grover Norquist analyzes the problems within the agency and presents solutions to rein them in. Norquist has a plan for cutting taxes for working Americans and for the major corporations that are fleeing for foreign shores. As president of Americans for Tax Reform, Grover Norquist is the go-to expert on taxation. Now, Norquist makes the case for a major tax reform, including a possible flat tax. On the current path, America will coast through inertia to ever-growing government and taxation, as entitlements consume more of our national economy. Norquist presents an alternative future where government spending is reformed, and taxes and the IRS radically curtailed. END THE IRS BEFORE IT ENDS US lays out what taxation in America should look like. Norquist offers a solution where America thrives, and Americans keep their hard-earned cash.
