Many Americans will be
scrambling today to get their 2013 tax return to the IRS. A few can

earners pay 29.3 percent of federal tax dollars, a percentage decried,

sorely in need of reform. But given today’s political climate, hopes for
meaningful change are not high. Please join us to discuss the US tax
code and prospects for reform.
