Steve Forbes’ View of the Flat Tax :
A 5 page paper
discussing the fairness of the various tax proposals suggested
by Steve Forbes during his presidential campaign in 1996. He
favored replacing the current income tax system with a flat
tax under which all Americans would pay the same rate of tax
on income and would have eliminated the possibility of
deductions. The liberal view, particularly of those without a
working knowledge of economics, was that such a scheme
would favor the rich and that, as such, it was unfair. That
charge proves to be unfounded, however. It is the issue of
fairness of the proposed changes that is the focus of the
paper. Bibliography lists 8 sources. Forbetax.wps
