Democrats have been incrementally changing the tax code for generations to increase the numbers of people dependent on government hand outs. Republicans are not willing to fight to fix the tax code. The seem to wedded ot the tax accounting and tax law industries to be interested in true reform.

There are several items that would be easy to reform. First is the idea of people getting tax refunds in excess of the amount withheld. Refundable Tax credits are a bad idea. Everyone who has any income should pay income taxes.

The complexity of the tax code is out fo control. I suspect that 95% of the tax code could be discarded without any deleterious effects.

"The political debate always is "It is someone else's fault"."

Too often this is true. We now have one party who learned from their last President the art of the 365 per year non stop campaign. They have adopted disloyalty and treachery as a campaign strategy. As long as they have a voice in the political arena and they maintain that attitude, divisions will remain deep.
