When we talk about tax reform, we're talking about de-stressing ourselves, not only financially but psychologically. There have been many proposals to create true tax reform. One of the recent proposals is for a value added tax. What I dislike inherently about the current system is that with our tax code we lose our integrity as people because it brings out the worst in us. Feel the energy around April 15.
People are angry, upset, mean spirited, under increased tension and pressure.
People don't like paying taxes because of the perception or the reality that we're putting money out and we don't even know where the money is going. It goes into this big pool called the United States Corporation and then it gets moved out into all these different areas. Not everybody gets an equal share of the pie. That's what Washington's all about, who gets what and how much. These are choices that are made through a political process.
