MOVIE: An Inconvenient Tax. “Should Congress try to repair the tax code’s inequities by moving towards a broader based income tax similar to that of 1986 or should it pursue a consumption-based system such as a flat tax, VAT or national retail sales tax? Also, can America’s schizophrenic desires for lower taxes and increased social programs be reconciled? An Inconvenient Tax explores the answers to these questions and more through interviews with world renowned economists, U.S. congressmen and average citizens across the nation.”
If somebody offered us our current income tax system for the first time, would we buy it? I don’t think so.
