Taxes Are a Woman's Issue: Reframing the Debate

For every woman who pays taxes and uses public services, and every man who cares about an effective and fair tax system, Taxes Are a Woman’s Issue reveals the U.S. as a welfare nation, whether you are rich, poor, a corporation or an individual, and critiques a tax structure that penalizes over half of tax payers. The National Council for Research on Women and authors Mimi Abramovitz and Sandra Morgen dispel myths about the current welfare system and expose how the IRS-supported tax system was created in and caters to a time before women entered the work force.
