It will always be a struggle to balance work and family, but we should make it easier by dramatically reducing income-tax rates. When people are allowed to keep more of what they earn, they will have more freedom to make the right choices for their family.
Every American family deserves to keep more of what it earns.
We need to change the tax code radically. Whether we ultimately wish to adopt a flat tax or a national sales tax is an open question - and a long debate. In the interim, we must abolish the marriage penalty and death tax, cut corporate and individual capital gains taxes, and neutralize the current bias against investment by reducing the top corporate income tax rate. I propose that we simplify the tax code by eliminating most tax preferences, credits and deductions, while preserving core incentives such as interest on home mortgages, charitable contributions and health-care, retirement and education expenses.
