UPI reports Vermont Democratic senatorial hopeful Scott Skinner unveils a nine point tax reform plan to shift burdens onto big business. He calls for repealing the Investment Tax Credit ending preferential capital gains treatment and closing tax loss farming loopholes. He also urges ending exemptions for domestically controlled foreign corporations replacing the standard 750 dollar personal exemption with a 250 dollar flat credit. Skinner criticizes Salmon and Stafford saying leaders won't reform the tax system. Wealthy taxpayers benefit from over 80 billion dollars in annual losses through loopholes.
