Ho, hum. This argumentative essay is far too logical to be the basis for any sort of likely reform.
But let's not make the perfect the enemy of the good. Any reasonable tax reform is better than what we have now, and what we will be getting as the AMT hits more and more people.
A flat income-tax would be good; then tax cuts, then permanent tax limits.
First, though, we must win the war. Otherwise, most of us will be paying the jizya, the special tax Islam imposes on dhimmis (non-Moslems). You will be forced to pay that asuumming that you are not simply sold into slavery, which was the big money-maker for the movement under the leadership of the false prophet himself.
I am less excited about the fair tax after reading this. New items could be leased for a week and then sold as used.
