Simplify the tax code, flatter tax, pro-growth taxing, sounds good. Not
sure if this is going to go anywhere.
Even if the tax amount we pay do not change much, making the tax code
simpler itself will cut a lot of wasted money.

During the 2008 campaign, it was clear that Barack Obama would govern as a

in other areas, he might govern as what he insisted he was: something of a
centrist, pragmatic and reasonable, nonideological and relatively bipartisan.
