...oh, and there’s more from HARD RIGHT (cough) Mitch:

DANIELS: We need a lot more revenues. If you take what I believe is a very flawed tax system, way too complicated, too many preferences and gimmicks in it, many of them, by the way, tilted toward upper income people —

Thats right Mitch, that’s what we need, more anti rich rhetoric. That’ll show em.

DANIELS: We need a lot more revenues. If you take what I believe is a very flawed tax system, way too complicated, too many preferences and gimmicks in it, many of them, by the way, tilted toward upper income people —

In other words, Daniels wants a flat (or at least flatter) tax system, which would raise more revenue with lower tax rates by eliminating special interest deductions and loopholes. Last time I checked, the flat tax is a conservative idea.

It's also a fact that the vast majority of special interest deductions in the tax code benefit upper income individuals and big corporations. That's something Steve Forbes has pointed out too.

Are you now going to call Steve Forbes a RINO as well?
