NEW - In 2016 the 2-4-8 Tax Blend will become 2-4-8 Tax Choice
The "choice" would allow all taxpayers to choose an income tax rate between 8% and 28% paired with a net wealth tax rate of 2% going down to zero. Wealth taxes paid would reduce Estate and Gift taxes (also set at 28%). This would encourage wealthy individuals to pay some net wealth taxes as a form of inexpensive life insurance.

The 2-4-8 Tax Blend can heal the economy but that can't happen unless it is adopted by congress.

The leaders of congress say that all tax reform options are still on the table but most of the members don't even know what the 2-4-8 Tax Blend is. Congress relies upon tax experts who are invited to testify and none have given testimony about a net wealth tax.

With your help this can change.

Thank you,

Journalists: are needed to write articles on tax reform which could be the biggest political issue of our lifetime. A fair description of the merits of the 2-4-8 Tax Blend is all that is expected. Journalists out to make a name for themselves have a real opportunity to do so, but should be forewarned that tax reform and the economy are very difficult subjects to write about.

Economists and Tax Policy Experts: are needed to critique the 2-4-8 Tax Blend and help to assemble data and resources to make professional review quick and easy. Co-authorship of articles and papers is also invited. Another goal is to explore ways to have the 2-4-8 Tax Blend scored with 10 year revenue projections so that it may be better compared with competing tax plans. See Plan Scoring Outline.

Partisan Bloggers: are needed to consider and write about the 2-4-8 Tax Blend with the political interests of Democrats and/or Republicans in mind. While the 2-4-8 Tax Blend is not a partisan position, it nevertheless offers much to the constituents of the respective parties. Since congress is political, the partisan spin must be presented to the members to show that their support is consistent with their party's interest and that of the country and the economy as a whole.

Board of Directors: Anyone with organizational skills is invited to consider becoming a member of the Board of Directors steering committee. The tasks ahead will require an organization and some fund raising. I am hopeful that the process and organization can be kept as informal as possible and that 99% of the communication can be done online from our respective homes and offices.

Email List and Updates: In the next few months I would like to begin a transparent process of organizing. At its simplest level I would invite all to send an email to me with their interests. I would compile the information with names and email addresses and send out an update to everyone who is interested. If someone does not want to volunteer and just wants to be on the email mailing list that is fine to.

Web Designers: I have maintained www.TaxNetWealth.com by learning the basics of Microsoft Expression Web 4 but I admit I am not a very good web designer. There are better sites which are more interactive and at some point it would be good to upgrade.

Student Activists: The 2-4-8 Tax Blend presents an opportunity to go beyond book learning and explore important issues that your professors never thought about. Be creative and have some fun.

Congress Watchers: There are probably only 50 or 60 members of congress that know enough about the current tax code to evaluate tax reform. Journalists and insiders often call this getting (or earning) a seat at the table. It would be very helpful to identify and target the members of congress who are going to make a difference.

New Suggestions: Nothing is fixed in stone. All suggestions are welcome.

Spread the word: Please let Congress know you want them to consider the 2-4-8 Tax Blend by simply tweeting "TaxNetWealth.com" or by copying any basic description and sending, faxing, or emailing it to at least one representative from each political party. Many representatives will only accept email through their individual websites.
