Ideal Taxes Association is a non-profit corporation whose purpose is to sponsor research on public revenue and expenditure policies and their social and economic effects, and to publish articles and books related thereto.

So far, we have only published one book, Trading Away Our Future: How to Fix Our Government-Driven Trade Deficits and Faulty Tax System Before it's Too Late (2008) written by our President, his son, and his grandson. Our President, Dr. Raymond Richman, is professor emeritus of public and international affairs at the University of Pittsburgh. He received his doctorate in economics from the University of Chicago. Milton Friedman was his dissertation advisor.

His son Dr. Howard Richman co-authored articles in theoretical psychology when he worked with Nobel Laureate Herb Simon at Carnegie-Mellon University and now teaches economics on the Internet. If you would like an interview with Howard 724-783-6512 to set up an appointment.

His grandson, Dr. Jesse Richman, is an assistant professor of political science at Old Dominion University with a doctorate from the Political Economy program at Carnegie-Mellon University.
