Using ‘adjustments’ to the arguably esoteric elements outlined in the article to increase tax revenue serves to clearly demonstrate the crying need for fundamental tax reform in the US. Generating tax revenue by tweaking amortization and depreciation schedules, or by re-categorizing a taxpayer’s revenue source absolutely screams for political fraud; and, we’ve been victims for decades.

Thanks. I've been trying to drum that into those on FR for years. And we still have some that just don't get it. Everything, commodities, services, etc, etc. ALL Businesses are in business to make a profit and all expenses, including taxes, are passed along to the consumer. Congratulations, you said it extremely well.
