Encouraging Congress to pursue reforms to ensure that all United States citizens contribute to funding the operations of the Federal Government in proportion to the economic gains they realize.

This resolution states the House of Representatives' position on federal taxes. It finds that the federal tax code should treat income the same way no matter its source or form, such as wages or gains from investments. It encourages Congress to pursue reforms so that all U.S. citizens pay toward federal government operations in proportion to the economic gains they realize. It also encourages the House Committee on Ways and Means to hold hearings on how current law taxes wage income differently from wealth that comes from capital. The resolution does not itself change any tax law.
