This cry for a tax that is fair and the same for everyone is conflict.  It can't be the same for everyone and still be fair.  That isn't how life works.


It is quite easy to make a case that our current tax laws are about as fair as it gets.  These laws were made with compromise, patience, a review of the facts, and the input of nearly everyone.  There is a reason America gives a deduction for home mortgage interest, for instance.  We know from experience that the families who live in their own homes are more successful as families and as citizens  than families who rent.  Successful families are good for all of us.  We all are better off that more own their homes than rent.  It is indeed fair that we use our tax codes to encourage home ownership.
