A new tax system

[Oceander]

I honestly don't think the current system can be fixed.

Neither did anyone in 1986, until the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 was enacted - that went a long way toward fixing a lot of the problems with the prior code, which had gotten all larded up with special gimmies like today's code.  We could do a lot worse if all we did was return to the '86 code (minus the AMT, of course).

I stand on my previous statement.

Abolish it and start over.

Start at a 0.1% flat tax and no debt spending.

I agree with the 1st part.

Not sure about the 2nd.
