Mark Weinberger on the Need for Bipartisanship and Cooperation in Addressing Major Tax Issues
What are the most pressing tax policy problems facing the country today, and what steps must lawmakers take to resolve them? Can Republicans, Democrats and the President work together to address these issues?
In this wide-ranging discussion, Mark Weinberger, who is the Americas Vice Chairman for Tax Services at Ernst & Young and former Assistant Secretary for Tax Policy at the U.S. Treasury, explains the importance of bipartisanship and cooperation between the President and Congress, the difficulties of achieving tax simplification in the face of so many attempts to implement social policy through the tax code, the possibility of reform or repeal of the alternative minimum tax, Social Security reform, and the effect of our high corporate tax rate on corporate inversion.
