Starting with a discussion of the framework of our dual income tax system in the United States, the book is written for the ordinary taxpayer who has been scared by politicians and the media into thinking the alternative minimum tax system is the "Darth Vader" of taxes and should be avoided at all costs.
The book lays out the argument for the alternative minimum tax as the simpler and fairer of the two tax systems in our country and explains how, with some tweaking by Congress, the AMT can be adopted with the public applauding Congress's bold initiative.
