The Tax Trap: Why Working Harder Can Leave You With Less
from Common Sense for America · host Bruce Rutherford
In this episode of *Common Sense for America*, Bruce Rutherford takes a closer look at America’s complicated tax system and how taxes and benefit cliffs can sometimes discourage people from working, earning more, and getting ahead. Bruce explores what a simpler tax system could look like including a generous tax-free exemption, a low flat tax, a voluntary luxury consumption tax, and eliminating corporate tax loopholes and subsidies. The bigger question is: **Are we taxing the right things, or are we creating a system that punishes productivity and hard work?** Watch the full episode and share your thoughts on how America should rethink its tax system. #TaxReform #TaxCode #Taxes #Economy #FlatTax #TaxPolicy #CommonSenseForAmerica #BruceRutherford
