A GOP Plan For Tax Reform (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

Six weeks to April 15 and tax payment deadline now.  Many people up to their elbows in preparing tax returns, or having them prepared.  It’s the time of year when we experience firsthand that our tax system is unwieldy and complicated and needs reform.  Last week, Republican David Camp, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, proposed a big overhaul.  It would knock down a lot of tax rates.  Radically simplify.  And blow a lot of tax deductions out of the water.  Everyone says it will never pass.  But let’s think about it.  This hour On Point:  a Republican stab at tax reform. / Tom Ashbrook
