This was great.

What next?
If the GOP was smart...

They would take this opportunity to revamp the entire agency (IRS) and the tax code.
Make it much more difficult for them to behave this way, and for the American public to be duped into paying for idiotic programs through the tax code.

Never would they be more popular with the American Public.
If the Senate leadership then passes on dealing with these bills, it can easily be highlighted during the mid term elections.
The senate would at least have to deal with the issue, and so would Obama.

And it would be fun to watch the dems squirm.
I just hope they don’t overplay their hand... cause then the press will retreat into defensive dem mode almost immediately.

Just having this discussion yesterday. The thought was that there has never been a better time to push a flat tax — that we're nearly there with medicare tax being essentially a lower-limit flat tax and the AMT being an upper limit flat tax. Even if we went to a 3-tier flat tax and eliminated all deductions, I think everything would be much better.
