Title: The U.S. Income Tax
First published: September 1, 1999
Description: "In The U.S. Income Tax, Michael J. Graetz explains the American tax mess (and the cures that are supposed to fix it) and offers some workable proposals."--Jacket.

"The book locates the answers in both the substance of the Internal Revenue Code and the political process that created and feeds this monstrous law. Graetz shows plainly how the income tax is used for political ends; how government has allowed its complexities to grow with no thought of their consequences; and how PAC funds and special interests have affected Congress's will to reform the system. He then looks closely at popular proposals for reform and shows why they are not as fair or as simple as their advocates claim. Pointing the way to tax reforms that really are simple, sensible, and fair, The U.S. Income Tax is a book for everyone concerned with where our tax dollars go and what we get for them."--Jacket.
