Systems engineering is a nonpartisan process that considers the needs of all stakeholders and uses facts and data to optimize a product or system. It seeks to balance opposing interests, conflicting objectives, and many constraints.
In Rational Tax Reform, Jim Hartung shows how systems engineering can be used to optimize social, economic, and political systems, using tax reform as an example. This book uses systems engineering to develop a comprehensive tax reform proposal that:
- Balances the federal budget, funds universal health care, and restores Social Security to financial health without increasing the burden on taxpayers
- Simplifies the tax code and makes it fairer by eliminating all itemized deductions and most tax credits, tax preferences, and loopholes
- Stimulates economic growth by decreasing tax rates and replacing the corporate income tax with a more efficient value-added tax
- Includes features to control government spending, address climate change, reduce political corruption, improve the education system, and increase infrastructure investment
The proposed tax reform is only one example of many possible alternatives--yet it clearly illustrates how systems engineering could enable rational, enlightened, and nonpartisan tax reform.
Rational Tax Reform also describes how systems engineering can be used to address other problems in addition to tax reform. Systems engineering can be used by anyone to address any problem, but it is most useful for addressing complex problems where the best solution is not obvious.
This book was written before the Covid-19 pandemic and the George Floyd killing. Nevertheless, lawmakers and policymakers can use systems engineering to develop comprehensive "systems solutions" for difficult and interrelated problems such as those exposed by these events.
