The Dirty Dozen Tax Breaks
In 2002, TCF convened the Working Group on Tax Expenditures to examine and propose reforms to the tax code. The resulting report, Bad Breaks All Around, identifies twelve tax breaks with little or no economic justification. These "dirty dozen" are no less ripe for the chopping block a decade later, as Congress finally takes up the task of simplifying the tax code. Follow along at Blog of the Century as we introduce each of the "dirty dozen" and explain why it's long past time to eliminate these useless, and costly, tax breaks.
