Tax laws too complex and costly for small business

I run a small business with about 10 employees. Federal employment taxes, unemployment insurance, use taxes, etc. add up to a substantial burden in terms of compliance. There needs to be a better, simpler way for businesses to manage tax liabilities. |

Problem: Americans have seen a massive redistribution of wealth over the last forty years with the country surrendering nearly a quarter of the nation’s yearly income to the top 1% of Americans.

Of all the new financial wealth created by the American economy from 1983 to 2004, 42% of it went to the top 1%, 94% went to the top 20%, and only 6% went to the bottom 80% of Americans. By 2007 the top 1% of households owned 34.6% of all privatel... |

Large corporations don't pay their fair share of taxes
Aaron Greenspan, October 15, 2011 at 10:37 PM EDT |

I run a small business and I still have to pay my taxes because I can't afford $900-per-hour CPAs who know the entire tax code inside and out, including every loophole. Nor do I want to headquarter my company in Grand Cayman. |
