Can the American Tax System be Fixed?
It’s not news to anyone that the American tax system is broken. A newly launched non-profit,Tax Revolution Institute, has as its mission to expose injustices in the U.S. tax system and to develop solutions to replace the broken tax code.
In this interview, we discuss with the project’s executive director, Dan Johnson, what sets this organization apart from other tax-reform groups, such as their recognition of the need for a transition plan to ease the transition for those most detrimental affected by any necessary changes in the code.
More specifically, we talk at length with Adam de Angeli, the group’s project director about an extraordinary attempt by the IRS to redefine – and thereby limit – the free speech of potentially millions of freely associating individuals. Did you even know that the IRS had the power to do that?
