Tax reform radar
By Andrew Chamberlain
Published April 15, 2006
It's tax time, so there's no shortage of outrage over
Internal Revenue Service forms. But according to one survey,
a shocking number of those annoyed taxpayers are willing to
put their money where their mouths are to get a simpler,
less painful tax code.
Last month, the Tax Foundation polled Americans to see if
they would be willing to give up some tax deductions to make
the tax code simpler. A surprising majority -- 52 percent --
said they would, indeed, be willing to give back some
deductions for less headaches at tax time.
That's a bombshell for federal lawmakers who've dragged
their feet on federal tax reform this year.
