No deductions??? I have enough stock losses to use up for this life and the next! How about just letting us deduct all our losses and start over?

No way. Make this the one and ONLY tax. No taxes of any kind other than a flat consumption tax. Lets make those rotten bastards in Washington squirm and justify the % that it would really take. People would shit their pants if they really knew how much of each dollar they earn went out the door in the form of one tax or another. Can you say Coup? Bet its .75 per 1 if you include all taxes. The mob has a much nicer system....I guess the retirement plan is a little harsh though.

Won't happen. Not as long as campaign finance remains unreformed. Congress will never be able to get its act together on this one. Every time Congress tries to "simplify" the Internal Revenue Code, the actually end up complicating the damn thing.
