Citing the disclosure last week that Enron paid no income taxes in four of the last five years, Mr. Levin also said, "We've got to change our tax laws." I hope a lot of people go to jail for many things in this smelly case. But not paying taxes seems like a non-issue. Isn't that supposed to happen when you lose lots of money?

Yeah, but they didn't 'officially' lose money. They never had a bad quarter until it was discovered that were hiding their loses. They were cheating and stealing, and the tax laws helped.
I have always been for a flat tax, now I think it may actually happen. Get rid of the tax lawyers and tax accountants, make it harder for people to cheat and steal.
