Problem is, the tax code is incredibly huge. How do you turn around a ship that big? I wish it would happen, but there's way too much top heavy interest group clout to let it happen. Besides the rich there are attorneys, accountants, banks, insurance companies, none of which would stand to benefit by massive tax reform.

It sounds great but unfortunately i think it's empty rehtoric.
Yeah...just think of the jobless rate going from 4% to 10% with all those people outta work. The IRS codes weigh like 35lbs....burn the damn thing and start over!
