Americans agree: the federal tax code is broken. Filing your taxes is too complicated, too time-consuming, and too costly. Our nation is in desperate need for fundamental tax reform to broaden the base of taxpayers, eliminate special interest tax credits, and lower the tax rate for individuals and businesses alike. Tax reform can immediately boost job creation and competitiveness, since our current system penalizes companies who want to invest in America through double-taxation. Furthermore, businesses are faced with one of the highest corporate tax rates in the world, resulting in fewer jobs for American workers.
