"Reform of the United States tax system has become a central
political issue. Assessing Tax Reform is a concise, nontechnical
book to help general readers and students understand the tax reform
issues Congress is now debating. Henry Aaron and Harvey Galper lay
out the major alternative proposals and analyze principles of
taxation that can be used for judging them. They explore the issues
surrounding a move to a comprehensive income tax, a cash-flow tax,
and the value-added tax or other consumption-based taxes. They show
the conflicts and opportunities resulting from large current
government deficits and the move for tax reform. In addition to
clarifying the problems that must be solved if large-scale,
long-term reform is to be achieved, the authors describe
alternative strategies for increasing revenues quickly. They also
present their own program for a fair, efficient, and less complex
tax structure. They conclude with an examination of the political
pitfalls that continue to make any major improvements in the tax
system hard to enact. "
