Or just scrap the whole tax thing. We were building roads and services before taxes.
Every justification for taxation not only has evidence that there is no correlation between tax revenues and resolved problems, but that we are more than capable of solving these problems ourselves through voluntary collaboration, rather than coercive.
> We were building roads and services before taxes.
That's all I need: Paying to use Verizon Interstate Highway in order to traverse my state.
Infrastructure is one of the few things that taxes are pretty good for, as most everyone benefits from roads, utility grids, etc.. War, scanning air travelers, and installing the Great Eye of Sauron at every intersection are not good uses of public money.
"The tax exemption for 501(c)(4) organizations applies to most of their operations"
This means they can have pretend massive markup on everything and write it off. It's a dodge, just like many church "leaders" drive crazy expensive cars.
Just eliminate it, no tax exemptions, everyone on the same level.
Then remove tax exempt status for all religious organizations which is a huge scam anyway.
This would be win-win for both stereotypes of the right wanting to "widen the base" and the left "liking taxes".
