Unfortunately, for a REAL recovery, we need both business regulatory reform and a major reform in the income tax code.

No we don't! We have "reformed" the Marxist income tax code to death What we need to do is to throw that onto the ash heap of history where it properly belongs and replace it with something much more in keeping with what our founders intended! A point of retail sale only sales tax on new goods and services!

While I do agree (see my tagline), we should right now enact the flat tax Steve Forbes proposed in 1996 as a transitional tax for around three years so we can get into place the mechanism for generating revenue from FairTax, then repeal the 16th Amendment and replace the income tax with FairTax.
