A Fine Mess A Global Quest for a Simpler, Fairer, and More Efficient Tax System By: T.R. Reid
Requirements: .M4A/.M4B reader, 228 MB
Overview: Best-selling author T. R. Reid voyages around the world to solve the urgent problem of America’s failing tax code, unraveling a complex topic in plain English and telling a rollicking story along the way.
The US tax code is a total write-off. Overstuffed with loopholes and special interest provisions, it works for no one – except tax lawyers, accountants, and corporations, that is – certainly not me and you. Not for the first time, we have to tear it up and start over. That happened in 1922, and again in 1954, and again in 1986. There’s a pattern here; we reach this point every 32 years. Which means the next complete re-write of the tax code is due in 2018. Can we write a new tax code that is fair and simple? Can we cut tax rates and still bring in the revenue required? In fact, we can – by learning from the world’s other democracies. Around the world, wealthy democracies, from Estonia to New Zealand to the UK, have all reformed their tax codes, while the US has languished. With his penchant for making complex subjects accessible and even fun, T. R. Reid travels the world in order to find out what makes for good taxation (if that’s not an oxymoron!) and brings that knowledge home.
