Fred Thompson on fixing the tax code.
As Thomas Jefferson is quoted as saying: "Taxes should be proportioned to what may be annually spared by the individual."
-- Thomas Jefferson (letter to James Madison, 1784)

I like the approach of seeking agreement on the status of the current tax code first.
Once we do that, going backward won't be an option.
That's fine, David, as long as we know what the end result ought to be: Simplify the tax code and make it more equitable -- maybe, by flat taxing EVERYONE!
