Our tax code must be fair, easy to understand, and easy to enforce. We need to simplify it and end the majority of loopholes. As long as billionaires do not pay a penny, we cannot expect anyone to want to pay their fair share. We need to bring back the trust --and the money, too.” (votesmart.org)

We offer so many loopholes that billionaires go without paying a penny while hard-working middle-class families struggle to meet their tax bills. The loopholes have to be closed.
