My view is that the tax code is already skewed in the ways you've pointed out, so why skew it even more to make up for it?


You're not skewing it more, you are re-skewing it to changing priorities.

Kind of funny how Obama advocates a "windfall profits tax" on oil.

Not for it myself. Excess profits have a way of coming back and biting you in the ass. And it will happen to the oil companies and oil producers, hopefully not before the US has crumbled under their weight.

How about we just go back to something simple, like a flat tax?

Far from simple. Have you seen some of the proposals?
