Senator Robert Bennett on Social Security Reform and Income Tax Reform
Should the federal income tax be abolished, and if so, what type of tax should replace it? What is the best solution to the Social Security problem, and can the system be reformed without increasing payroll taxes? What is the purpose of taxes, and how has a misunderstanding of the real purpose of taxation contributed to the problems with the current tax code?
In this podcast, Senator Robert Bennett discusses tax compliance costs, the regressivity of payroll taxes, the benefits of consumption taxes, his plan for reforming Social Security, and his suggestions for overhauling the federal tax code. (15 minutes, 57 seconds)
