Among the many issues that candidates have discussed, one that interests me the most - and will affect our wallet - is taxes. Tax simplification. Tax deductions. Progressive or regressive systems. Blah blah blah...
It is all important.
But the truth of the matter is that regarding tax brackets, it really doesn't matter. And reducing the number of brackets really doesn't make tax any easier.

Regardless of who you support, listen if this issue comes up tonight in the Republican debate, or in the upcoming Democratic debate.
