Ultimate Tax Reform Poll Results
After running a very comprehensive tax reform poll for the first two weeks in January, we learned that there were three methods of tax reform that have any level of support among our visitors. We call this the "Ultimate Tax Reform Poll," because most polls only include the two methods that receive the most publicity. The three methods of tax reform that received significant support in our previous poll are the Flat Tax, the Fair Tax and a method that we refer to as Taxing the States. If you want to see the original poll page and our descriptions, just click here.
We asked our readers,
"Keeping in mind that regardless of tax method implemented, the amount collected will have to be roughly the same, if you had to choose between the following three methods of tax collection, which do you think will benefit all taxpayers most?"
Here are the final results:
The Flat Tax

11.2

The Fair Tax
(1414 votes)
79.7

Taxing the states
(161 votes)
