My suggestion for ripping out the entire federal tax code by it's roots - tossing the vast bulk of all the 'special tax preference items' and other loopholes out - and coming back with a new, fairer, less intrusive, and *lower rate* flat rate or modified flat rate system?

(You are for it?)


Very much so.

But as I said early the problem isn't just that its hard to achieve, but that once you achieve it, its hard to maintain. Which is not a reason not to go for it (unless you think "hard" means "impossible" and I don't in this case, although it will be really hard).

Whatever specific policy proposals are pushed, the main thing is that you need to have a stronger more wide spread belief in limited government.
