Both forms of consumption tax are not without their troubles and for the most part there is no consensus on the benefits of either alternative. Overall, the quest to reform the current system of taxation rages on. It will be very difficult to reform the current progressive tax system of because it is so steeped in bureaucracy and tradition.
Conclusion
The purpose of this discussion was to examine the progressive income tax. We found that the this tax system operates by taxing a certain percentage of individual income excluding certain deductibles. The investigation detailed the history of progressive taxation and clearly defines progressive taxation. The investigation revealed that the implementation of such taxation was controversial since its inception which came as a result of an amendment to the constitution. In addition, the research presented the problems associated with progressive taxation and the solutions to these problems. We found that the main problem often associated with this type of taxation is the placement of a tax burden on middle-income families. To remedy this problem the research asserts that consumption taxes should take the place of a progressive tax. It is believed that such taxes will reduce the tax burden of the middle class and reduce the occurrences of tax evasion, which are so prevalent with the current system of taxation.
In any case the research has proven that the current tax system is problematic and in need of reform. The progessitivity of the system compounded by complex tax laws make the system unfeasible and terribly burdensome for the middle class.

Research indicates that entreprenuership can be both the cause and effect of economic development in the sense of wealth distribution. Countries in which wealth is concentrated in the hands of a small fraction of the population face greater difficulties in coordinating

When Gorbachev launched perestroika (Gorbachev's policy of social, economic and political restructuring), the above mentioned "shadow" sector of society actually got amnesty and hence were offered a kind of "legitimacy," Khokhriakov writes on page 13. During the first part of perestroika, the Soviets developed cooperatives, which "only strengthened the destructive model of the 'shadow' market economy, Khokhriakov explains on page 14.

As previously mentioned, Cameron and many others have posited a new Bill of Rights and the abandonment of the Human Rights Act which many have argued does not provide clear articulation for the rights and responsibilities of Britain's citizenry, and fails to address issues specific to counter-terrorism.
