The Iowa Center for Fiscal Equity: Tax Day: Why We Pay and How Not To

The Iowa Center for Fiscal Equity: Tax Day: Why We Pay and How Not To looks at Kevin Hassett's Outlook piece in Sunday's Washington Post. Hassett ignores the tax rates extant during the Clinton years and the fact that most of us file to get money back, not to pay taxes. I point this out in the linked piece and offer a proposal to eliminate filing for most people right away and for wealthy non-business owners in the long term (after the debt is paid off and overseas militarism abandonned). Frequent readers already know these proposals. For those who don't, let me make one thing clear - if you don't want to file taxes every year, perhaps you should start voting for a new party - this one.
