Taxes are a necessary "evil." The revenues are used to fund public goods. However, taxes are a drag on the economy. Therefore taxes should be as low as possible, and tax laws should be straightforward and easy to understand. Unfortunately we currently have high rates of taxation, and it takes armies of accountants, lawyers and other tax professionals to guide people through the morass. I am in favor of total tax reform.
