how about a much simpler tax code...

For example... no deductions for anyone... progressive tax rates... and eliminate the capital gains tax rate (make it the same as earned income).

No tax breaks for charitable giving, interest on borrowed money, and even limited tax breaks for family size (at 8 billion people, we don't need more of us on this planet).

One page tax return... how much did you make... here is your tax rate... pay up.

Kill the useless tax industry.... and the IRS (for the most part, still need enforcement).
