If you were to ask me... I'd say: "Tax ALL INCOME (regardless of source) at *exactly the same* single flat and LOW rate, and make that very low single rate possible by ELIMINATING most every loophole and special tax preference item that exists in our massively over-complex tax codes today."

And, at the same time, pass an amendment to the US Constitution BANNING federal current account deficits (except in the hopefully narrow circumstances when the President declares a national emergency, and congress ratifies that declaration).

And I am unlikely to become very much enthused about any lesser, and halting and sub-optimal, tax policies --- regardless of which candidate or talking head advances their modest proposals....
