...appropriate stakeholders. Last, I will analyze how the economic policy proposed would solve the economic problem. Tax reform is the process of changing the way taxes are collected or managed by the government. Tax reformers have many different goals. Some seek to make the tax system more progressive or less progressive. Others want to simplify the tax system and make it more understandable or more accountable. In the United States, it is required for working citizens to pay taxes. Taxes are generated from an individual’s income or from sales. These taxes go towards the local, state, and federal government. The purpose of taxes is to fund the government, the military, and services to low-income families. Programs such as food stamps, housing, Social Security, public school, and healthcare are available due to taxes. The tax system is based on the “ability to pay.” As an individual’s income increases, so does their taxable income rate. The current economic situation of the United States can be blamed on a multitude of variables and is the fault of numerous politicians from the democratic and republican parties as well as some special interest groups with lobbying power, including several Presidential administrations. There are many benefits for the individuals, businesses, and government when it comes to tax reform. The benefits for the individual would be a simpler system, making paying taxes easier for everyone, and bringing...
