WHICH PRESIDENTS TAX PROPOSAL IS BEST... AND DOES IT REALLY MATTER?

Q: We are seeing a lot of proposals to revamp the tax system.  Obama has a plan and Rommey has a plan.  Which one do you think would be better for the average person?

A: Tax reform plans are popping up all over, like robins showing up in the spring, but don't get too excited.  If you think about it this is just election posturing.  It takes more than just the president to change the tax code.  Legislation must first start with the House Ways and Means Committee and then make it all the way through Congress before it hits the president’s desk.  Sure the president has some power to influence but that is about all.  Because of this I don't get too excited about election promises. 

We are watching and will keep you posted.
