The problem with any sorts of tax reform, (Forbes flat-tax, SocSec privatization, Bush tax cut, etc.) is that politicians never met a tax they didn't obfuscate. The only reform goes to those with the loudest voice in Washington, and it ain't us chickens/taxpayers. It's the corp interests and top 1% of earners, which even if one is in the top 1% (I am this year, whoopee, but next year ...?) it's small comfort, to know the rest of the country is being ground into dirt by trillions in added debt and defacto tax increases, and the inability to get out of the way of the freight train of financial trickery for the next several years, until The Unaccountable Ones are removed from the political landscape. No impetus for politicos until citizens have a torchlight parade to march on Washington to force accountability on every public dollar, program and personnel.
