It is
the policy of this concurrent resolution that Congress and the relevant
committees of jurisdiction enact legislation to ensure a tax reform that
broadens the tax base, reduces tax complexity, includes a consumption-based
income tax, and a globally competitive flat tax.
(1)
Taxes on
individuals
This concurrent resolution shall eliminate all tax
brackets and have one standard flat tax rate on adjusted gross income. The
individual tax code shall remove all credits and deductions, with exception to
the mortgage interest deduction, offsetting these with a substantially higher
standard deduction and personal exemption. The standard deduction for joint
filers should be equal to or greater than $35,000, $21,690 for head of
household, and $17,500 for single filers. The personal exemption amount is
$6,800. This proposal eliminates the individual alternative minimum tax (AMT).
The tax reform would repeal all tax on savings and investments, including
capital gains, qualified and ordinary dividends, estate, gift, and interest
saving taxes.
(2)
Taxes on
businesses
This concurrent resolution shall eliminate all tax
brackets and have one standard flat tax on adjusted gross income. The business
tax code shall remove all credits and deductions, offsetting these with a lower
tax rate and immediate expensing of all business inputs. Such inputs shall be
determined by total revenue from the sale of goods and services less purchases
of inputs from other firms less wages, salaries, and pensions paid to workers
less purchases of plant and equipment.
(3)
Single
system
The individuals and businesses would be subject to
taxation on only those incomes that are produced or derived, as a territorial
system in the United States. The aggregate taxes paid should provide the
ability to fill out a tax return no larger than a postcard.
VI
Sense of
Congress
601.

agencies to abide by the same regulatory analysis requirement as those required

It
shall be the policy of Congress to vote on the REINS Act, legislation that

economic aggregate may not be implemented as law unless Congress gives its
consent by voting on the rule.
(3)

Congress to apply formal rulemaking procedures to all major regulations or
those regulations that exceed $100,000,000 in aggregate economic costs.
