I'm not saying taxes should be reduced. I'm saying tax law should be simplified. I'm also saying that I don't think certain parties WANT tax law to be simplified. Even if it saves money in the end. With complex methods of taxing on multiple levels, the screwed party doesn't even see if or how they're being screwed. Straight shoting tax law would leave the exact figures bared to all. When is the last time creative accounting wanted the figures laid bare?
Amanda is right about one thing. The tax burden at the upper levels is decreasing slowly. The fact that we have a tiered income tax and even so, only a small difference in total tax burden between the upper and middle classes shows that something is wrong.
