Center For American Progress Unveils Progressive Tax Plan

The Center for American Progress has launched a progressive priorities project aimed at providing a positive vision for progressive lawmakers that is supported by a series of innovative policy ideas. The Center is authoring approximately a dozen reports over roughly a two month period that include broad policy recommendations as well as specific steps lawmakers can take in order to achieve these policy goals. On Monday the Center released one paper in this series about tax reform, called "A Fair and Simple Tax System for our Future: A Progressive Approach." The paper outlines policy necessary to restore a fair, simple, and pro-opportunity tax system, and serves as a responsible and progressive alternative to the tax policies currently embraced by the Bush administration.
