American tax payers have had a dishonest representation of the actural tax burden on the lower and middle income population. Politicians must base and reform a change in tax policy to reflect the actural precent of total income per household paid as taxes when they pass a flat or fair tax.
Why is this important?
Federal taxation of the American people has been dishonestly reported since the Reagan Presidency. Honest rates of taxation of the American people would include all taxes paid--Social Security, medicare, income, gasoline, excise sales, and consumer paid corporate taxes.
