Petition: Support Tax Reform
Because the nation’s tax code is fundamentally unfair, complicated, discourages entrepreneurship, and stifles the economic vitality of our nation, we hereby sign this petition calling for fundamental tax reform. We, the below signers, want the current tax system scrapped and replaced with one that is:
- simple, low, fair, and honest;
- provides tax relief for working Americans;
- protects the rights of taxpayers and reduces tax collection abuses;
- eliminates bias against savings and investment, and;
- promotes economic growth and job creation.
“Our federal tax system is, in short, utterly impossible, utterly unjust and completely counterproductive...[it] reeks with injustice and is fundamentally un-American... it has earned a rebellion and it’s time we rebelled.”
—Ronald Reagan, May 1983
“Our Income Tax system is a disgrace to the human race.”
—Jimmy Carter, 1976
“I believe that the current tax code is an abomination that cries out for vast simplification and reform.”
—Treasury Sec. Paul O’Neill, 2002
The current tax code is a 60,000-page catalog of favors for special interests and a chamber of horrors for the rest of America. ScraptheCode.org is dedicated to educating America about the broken tax code and the need for reform.
