How America Was Tricked on Tax Policy - Secrets and Undisclosed Practices

How America was Tricked on Tax Policy explains how regular citizens were "tricked" by the outdated view of economists that much heavier taxation of labor rather than capital is economically justifiable. The truth is that workers pay their taxes while the rich pay very little. Based on reputable sources of information, including publications of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), official statistics data, and the publications in high-ranked journals, the book paves the way for a new policy-making process aimed to achieve more sustainable taxation and to increase the wellbeing of citizens as the main goal of any modern state policy. The book compellingly argues how tax policy could be improved by incorporating science and scientific methods.
