Issues: Flat Tax
The Issue
Today, Americans are paying the highest taxes in the nation's history. The current complex tax system includes several inequities. It penalizes married couples by making them pay higher taxes than single individuals. And many Americans face a death tax that claims a significant portion of their estate after they die.
The FreedomWorks Position
We want to scrap our confusing, unfair tax code and replace it with a simple flat tax of one low rate with no deductions or special interest loopholes. We also want lower taxes at the federal, state, and local levels. We want to keep the Internet free from taxes as well.
