I can certainly get behind reforming the tax code to steamline it and remove most (if not all) of the specialized deductions that keep adding entropy to the system. I certainly can't agree on the wisdom of switching from a progressive income tax to a national sales tax though. A progressive income tax is still, philosophically, the right way to go in my opinion. Obviously its current implementation leaves something to be desired.
