Instead of eliminating a specific disliked tax, we are eliminating an unfair tax. The Marriage Tax is just plain wrong, undermining society's most basic institution. The Death Tax is unfair, because it's wrong for government to steal half the legacy a person works a lifetime to build. Seventy percent of family businesses fail to survive the first generation because of this unjust tax. Taxing education is wrong.
Every child deserves a chance to succeed.
No one should be doubly taxed for saving for retirement. They almost always miss their mark and hit working people instead. Punishing success runs contrary to American principles. The rich never did pay it. They just postponed or canceled their boat purchases.
