Simplify the Tax Code Act
This bill consolidates the current seven income tax brackets into four, doubles the standard deduction, eliminates most itemized deductions except mortgage interest and charitable contributions, and simplifies business taxation by allowing immediate expensing of all capital investments under $1 million.

This would directly affect my community. I have some suggested changes to make it more practical.
Great proposal. How does this interact with existing state-level regulations?
I'd support this with one change — thresholds should be adjusted for regional cost differences.
Strong support. The data clearly shows the current approach is failing and we need a new direction.
This is why I joined CitizenSenator. Real policy proposals that address real problems. Voted yes.
This is exactly the kind of legislation we need. The current system is broken and this addresses the root causes directly.
We need stronger enforcement provisions with real penalties for non-compliance.
Strengthen enforcement provisions
+ Proposed Text
New Section 8: "Violations subject to civil penalties of $10,000+ per day. Enforcing agency authorized to conduct audits and investigations."
Small entities should receive different treatment. I propose a tiered approach based on size.
Create tiered requirements by entity size
+ Proposed Text
Section 4(b) amended: "Tiered requirements — Tier 1 (revenue >$50M): 12 months; Tier 2 ($10M-$50M): 24 months; Tier 3 (<$10M): 36 months with technical assistance."
As someone who works in this area, the problems described here are real. This would make a meaningful difference.
