- Give your opinion as to whether you believe the current progressive federal income tax structure is fair for most Americans. Provide support for your response.
- Create an argument for what you believe should be the maximum federal income tax rate an individual should have to pay. Provide support for your argument.
- Analyze the potential benefits that a flat tax structure might have on both taxpayers and the United States Treasury. Defend or critique a flat tax structure.
- Use at least three (3) quality academic resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar websites do not qualify as academic resources.
