Good luck with that. Pols in both parties tweak the tax code with equal fervor for all the wrong reasons. The last several election cycles have confimed for me that the no one inside the beltway gives a rats ass about the voters. Maybe we need term limits first, then we can overhaul the tax code. The "throw the bums out" attitude simply gets the current crop of bums replaced with...new bums, and the old bums become lobbyists or go to work on Wall Street or banking.
