kyle pomerleau?ways: there are certainly in the tax code and a lot of these plans try to get at that that marginal tax rates and average tax rates do not really match up. the reason is for what they are calling loopholes and a lot of these reductions. a lot of these plans, of course, get rid of them. you also bring up another important concern about what is called in washington "this traditional analysis -- distributional analysis." when you have a tax plan, who gets larger cuts than others? that is one important aspect of some of these tax plans because they go after marginal income tax rates, seem to favor those at the top more than those at the bottom. if cuttingration is those taxes benefits those at the top so much, that must mean that under current law they are paying the most as well. when it comes to across-the-board rate cuts, that is the result that you would expect. , i'm note pomerleau hurt anyone defend the complexity of the tax system, of our tax code. how has it grown to be so complex
