Myths of Tax Fairness


Former U.S. Comptroller General David M. Walker, who is now CEO of the Comeback America Initiative, released April's "Myth of the Month" video, focusing on our tax system. Everyone talks about the need for our tax system to be fair.

There are actually two other elements of fairness that get lost in the rich vs. poor debate.
