This book examines current proposals in the 112th Congress relating
to tax reform. The President and leading members of Congress have
stated that fundamental tax reform is a major policy objective.
These policymakers have said that fundamental tax reform is needed
in order to raise a large amount of additional revenue, which is
necessary to reduce high forecast budget deficits and the sharply
rising national debt. Congressional interest has been expressed in
both a major overhaul of the U.S. tax system and the feasibility of
levying a consumption tax. Some proponents of reform argue that the
tax base should be broadened by reducing or eliminating many tax
expenditures. An alternative to increasing tax revenues is cutting
spending. Thus, Members are faced with considering the best mix of
tax increases and spending cuts in order to reduce deficits and
slow the growth of the national debt.
