The other two teams will discuss the advisability of having the United States adopt a flat tax system, rather than our present progressive tax system. Our present system has caused significant controversies and contains many “favors” (deductions or tax credits) for certain activities. Having a flat tax system, with few or no deductions, would be easily applied. One team will be an advocate of having a flat tax system in the United States while the other team will favor the present progressive tax system, with deductions and tax credits for various items and activities.

All teams will complete a double-spaced paper, not to exceed 3 pages in length (not counting the title page or the reference page), by the end of Unit 3. The title page should state the team’s task and list the team members. The use of proper grammar will be assessed and included in the grading process. Please make sure to identify a team leader to submit the final version of the paper to the Team Assignment Dropbox under Unit 3
