The problem is our code is a mess. Over the years our Legislators have passed all of these exemptions, breaks and waivers recommended by various lobbyist. We need to completely gut the tax code and make it simple and flat with no exemptions, breaks, or waivers. Lobbyist and accountant’s would go out of business but the American people would not be burdened with excess taxes to fill in the gaps created by these exemptions...

I think we should repeal the 16th amendment, drastically reduce the size of the federal government, and adopt a VERY modest national sales tax to cover the cost of running the MUCH smaller government.

I thought we did something like that in the Reagan years. Then Congress started fiddling with the rules and put us back into the jungle we are in now.
