My thought is that the president's team planned to have fast action of tax reform all along, but they had to get what they could get at the time. By using the same strategy Democrates have been using, that is, gradual implementation, we will get what we want to get done as long as we have clear goals in mind.

Next will be a flat tax?

I suspect the next step will be a blue ribbon commission to look at an overhaul of the entire tax structure. All alternatives will be on the table from a flat tax to NRST to simply restructuring the current system.

But that's an ambitious proposal, and I guess I would doubt that it would get much traction before 2004.

It would be interesting to have it be one of the major campaign issues of that election.

I'm hoping this is a major issue for the 2004 election and that W champions it.

The tax code is a monstrosity and it needs to go. Every single page of it. Replace with either a flat tax or a national sales tax. At this point, it doesn't matter to me. Just scrap the current code!
