What are the implications and likelihood of reform of the income
tax system in the United States—specifically, the expansion and
scope of the tax "expenditure" (loophole) system embedded in the
income tax codes? This book details the tax system that now
provides for more than 200 tax expenditures, highlighting the
potential lost tax dollars. Income tax policy and politics is an
inherently complex and potentially confusing topic. This book makes
the tax loophole system understandable for those without in-depth
knowledge about taxes. It explains what our tax system looks like,
why it is set up as it is, and what effects it has on raising
revenue (and thus deficits) and the furtherance of other policy
goals. Additionally, it explains why, despite popular and political
desires, a significant overhaul of the tax system is very unlikely
to be enacted: because tax expenditures (otherwise known as
loopholes) benefit all Americans in some way and are supported as
policy by both political parties. Written by John F. Witte, an
established expert in tax policy and policy analysis, the book
provides a balanced viewpoint that discusses the implications of
reform of the income tax system in the United States, demonstrates
the range of individuals who are affected by various provisions,
and identifies what effects loopholes have on policy goals. Readers
will see how both political parties are responsible for the
creation and expansion of various loopholes, understand why many of
these provisions make sound policy sense, and grasp how the tax
code is affected by political desires and policy goals.
