No. We've seen what no alternative tax system leads to. However the current AMT system should be corrected to include some type of indexing for COLA/Inflation.

Answer: Yes. The AMT needs more than indexing for inflation. Even with the annual "patch" for inflation, it still adds a tax burden and complication for upper-middle-class families with more than the average number of children or who live in a state that taxes income at a high rate--neither of which are exactly progressive tax policies. Moreover, as this IRS report shows, it has done little or nothing to combat otherr tax policies that allow more high-net-worth individuals than ever to pay no tax, ostensibly the reason it was enacted more than 40 years ago. http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-soi/05inhighincomebul.pdf
