Terri Lynn Land on Tax Reform

	Terri Lynn Land on Tax Reform

Make tax code simple, fair, and less bureaucratic

Our nation's tax laws are too complex. It's 76,000 pages! Not to mention the 11,000 pages of new taxes [from] ObamaCare. Too often, Congress uses special tax breaks to create winners and losers. The winners are the special-interests and the losers are average Americans.

Fair: The tax code is inherently unfair and it rewards special-interest groups. We should increase fairness by eliminating special carve-outs and exemptions. I would also support lower overall tax rates.
Simple: The tax code is more than 4 million words. I will prioritize simplifying the tax code and eliminating redundancies and discrepancies in the code, as well the incomprehensible rules and regulations that weigh down on small businesses.
Less Bureaucracy: The IRS today is a sprawling bureaucratic agency that has control of too many aspects of our personal information and business records. Because my plan will produce a less complex tax code, we will be able to scale back the IRS.
