Robert Sarvis on Tax Reform

	Robert Sarvis on Tax Reform

Eliminate or dramatically reduce the income tax

We need to simplify and streamline the tax system so that revenue raising is transparent and least burdensome to individuals, families, and businesses alike. I propose:

Eliminating the Car Tax, which is unpopular
Eliminating the BPOL, Machine & Tools, Merchant Capital and other business taxes that hide the cost of taxation, burden employers, and reduce business activity
Eliminating, or dramatically reducing, the income tax, which reduces employment and lowers take-home pay
Moving to a uniform consumption tax on all final retail sales of goods and services
Reforming property taxes by excluding, or lowering the rate applied to, improvements to land
Preferring, where possible, user fees to general taxes.
