Whatever changes you'd like to see would involve extensive negotiations and these negotiations would be doomed from the start as Republicans would demand a package whose benefits would skew to their constituents ("job creators" (corporations, the wealthy)), whereas Democrats would demand the resulting package advantage their constituents at the expense of the GOP's constituents. These competing demands cannot be reconciled.
Instead of providing your desired end state for the tax code, show us instead how this can realistically be achieved. Otherwise, you're pissing in the wind.
