American Seniors believes that America's income tax system is a mess and is a significant contributor to insecurity for America's seniors. Washington needs to make a top-to-bottom reform of the tax code a top priority.

• America's tax code is one mountain of a mess. In fact, it is more than 72,500 pages of a mess. This one fact alone is proof of its instability and unfairness.
• An unstable tax code produces an unstable revenue and collection process. An abusive tax code inhibits the economic development that creates jobs and opportunities for all workers, young and old alike. All of these factors contribute to insufficient or unstable funding for Social Security and Medicare.
• Retirement funding plans and the related tax code must be simplified. It shouldn't be a guessing game that forces retirement planning into disjointed tax options with varied limits. Everyone should be able to make life-long retirement plans with few contribution limits and low taxes on retirement savings.
