It's funny that, for decades, Republican candidates have been pushing for the kind of sweeping tax reforms that would eliminate the problem of loopholes, favoritism and capture revenues.

It's the largely Democrats who fight like hell for the corrupt status quo and leviathan code offering favors.

We must ask ourselves: if this REFORM was so CRITICAL, the system so UNFAIR, WHY did Obama and Pelosi and Reid NOT push it through during 2009 & 2010.

Let’s be honest.

We have nearly 50% of people not paying federal income taxes. That lies at the feet of both Bush’s who while cutting taxes exempted larger and larger proportions of the public from paying federal income taxes. It is extremely dangerous - as in the country’s economic collapse - to exempt half the population from paying federal income taxes while they retain the right to vote for more goodies from the federal government and to vote to take more from the ones left who do pay the taxes.
