Scrapping the code: the flat tax
August 1st, 2007 by Brendan SteinhauserMany of you have been visiting our flat tax home page: http://www.scrapthecode.org There is a growing movement to scrap the current tax code and replace it with something that is flat and fair.
The Issue
Today, Americans are paying the highest taxes in the nation’s history. The current complex tax system includes several inequities. It penalizes married couples by making them pay higher taxes than single individuals. And many Americans face a death tax that claims a significant portion of their estate after they die.
The FreedomWorks Position
We want to scrap our confusing, unfair tax code and replace it with a simple flat tax of one low rate with no deductions or special interest loopholes. We also want lower taxes at the federal, state, and local levels. We want to keep the Internet free from taxes as well.
