1. Taxes

When Republicans and the Tea Party talk about tax reform, they really mean tax cuts for the rich.

2. "start with a blank sheet of paper" ... riiiiiiiiight.

... and eliminate any and all middle-income deductions, so even though the rate may be lower, ultimately we're screwn because deductions for mortgage interest/points, student loan interest, medical expenses, even adding to a 401K, will probably be eliminated.

But really rich people who can hire accountants to make up creative shit & hide money offshore will still come out the other end squeaky clean.
