Opis

Taxes in America offers a clear, concise explanation of how our tax system works, how it affects people and businesses, and how it might be improved, in an accessible and occasionally humorous manner. The book explores what makes a tax system fair, simple, and efficient, why our system falls short, and whether the new tax law promises much, if any, improvement.

Recenzje

A valuable new primer on the nation's wild and crazy revenue system. Taxes in America is a clear, concise, and easy-to-read tour of the U.S. revenue system. It is written in a simple question-and-answer format, and does a nice job of breaking down complex tax theory into bite-sized understandable chunks. If you find yourself baffled by the politicians' arguments over tax rates and "loopholes" or about the various forms of tax reforms that are floating around, Taxes in America will help you understand what it is that lawmakers are about to do to you.
