"Eliminate the Loopholes!"

I often recommend that everyone in the world read Barlett & Steele's "America: Who Really Pays the Taxes?"  You may be interested to know that the book is not anti-income tax - it is a non-partisan, very enlightening look at our current tax system.

It is a testament to the power of habit that even the authors, esteemed investigative journalists who grew up under this system and have known nothing else, missed a critical piece to the problems that plague the income tax.  The information contained in this important book helped me understand that it is a very naive position to talk of eliminating the loopholes in the income tax, the loopholes that allow the wealthiest Americans to avoid the tax altogether.  It is naive when you understand that the income tax system is ITSELF the loophole.

Read the book.
