I think the tax code needs to be reformed in a revenue neutral way to make it flatter, less complex, helpful for the working poor, and less burdensome for compliance. From there, we can figure out how to raise revenue from there. In other words, it has zero chance of being passed from Washington.

Helpful for the working poor? 47% of US households don't pay any federal income tax now. How could it be more helpful to the poor than it is now?
