The administration should create a tax system that reflects fairness and equitability for all Americans. Currently, single, childless individuals contribute a significant portion of property taxes that support public school systems, even though they may not directly benefit from these services in the same way as households with children. Furthermore, singles do not receive certain tax benefits or refunds that are available to parents, which can create a disparity.
To address this, the administration should explore policy options that would adjust income and property tax structures to offer reductions for single, childless individuals. This approach aims to ensure that tax obligations are fair, aligned with individual circumstances, and reflective of diverse household types across America.
