IRT your #39. You point out why there can never be any meaningful tax reform. If you plan your life around a certain tax loophole, the plan doesn’t work if the loophole goes away and taxes aren’t adjusted accordingly. Even suggestions of modestly altering 401K type plans brings out big yells..
As far as I can tell people are not clamoring for tax reform.
They are clamoring for tax RELIEF.
An across-the-board cut in rates will satisfy that demand.
