John Fund on Prospects for Tax Reform in the New Congress
What are the prospects for tax reform in the new Congress? Will the Democrats’ talk of earmark reform translate into action? In the absence of fundamental tax reform, are there smaller improvements that can be made to the current system?
In this podcast, Wall Street Journal columnist and author John Fund discusses the “Appropriations Party”; the problem of earmarking; lobbying; the growing complexity of the tax code; and reform possibilities for the alternative minimum tax, Social Security, and taxes on savings.
