Tax reform is one of the Administration's top agenda items, but little is known about what their tax proposal will look like. What should the goals of tax reform be? How do we determine the winners and losers? Can fairness and inefficiency be balanced? How likely is it that tax reform will pass? The New America Foundation's Fiscal Policy and Work & Family Programs will bring together a panel of experts with varying perspectives to discuss the goals, prospects for and effects of different types of reforms.
