A flat tax would be fairer.

But K Street lobbyists are not paid millions of dollars to make things "fair" - but to take care of who pays them.

Lobbyists wrote these bills.

Which is why they won't do it. As much as I dislike him, Romney put the spotlight on the 47% who pay no income taxes for a brief moment.

Imagine the screaming if they were suddenly forced to send money into Washington DC!
