Try this for a fairer tax
By Wayne Rowan
Whom do you think the additional 87,000 IRS agents are going to audit? If you have an Etsy, eBay, or even FB marketplace sale, it will be audited. If you use PayPal, Venmo, Cash App, or any other digital wallet, you will be audited. If you own or owned any cryptocurrency, you will be audited. This is not rocket science. A few years ago, the IRS wanted to track every purchase over $600 if not for the pressure from citizens, and they will try again.
The time is now to get a bipartisan change to our current unwieldy individual income tax code. The current income tax code is huge and has over 70,000 pages of regulations. The Internal Revenue Service Code and accompanying regulations are more than four million words, not including court cases interpreting the code.
I am a fan of the Fair Tax or even a flat tax, but those alternate taxes do not have the support from any in the Democrat party. But I think I have a tax code Democrats could get behind.
First, what I suggest is a three-tiered tax rate that is revenue-neutral. Be it 5%, 15%, 25% or 10%, 20%, 30% — as long it is revenue-neutral. Ideally, the first $50,000 would not be taxed (or $60,000 or higher). The first tier would go to $100,000, the second tier to $250,000, and above that for the third tier. Those rates would go up at the same rate as the SS benefit rate increase.
Second, no deductions at all. Zip, zero, nada. This would be an individual tax rate. No joint filing, no dependent deductions. What you make is what you are taxed.
