Dan Bongino on Tax Reform

 


Reduce taxes in all income categories to stimulate economy

Across the board rate reductions along with a reduction in the number of definable income categories accompanied by a streamlining of the tax code will reduce the government's role in economy. In addition, both the corporate and capital gains tax rates must be reduced, and loopholes eliminated, in order to spur innovation, investment and future productivity. Taxing investments in America's production engine dis-incentivizes entrepreneurialism and discourages economic growth.
