BECAUSE WE JUST CAN'T GET ENOUGH

February 28, 2008

I think the road to tax reform lies in requiring all Congresscritters to do their tax returns via live webcasts. If they use a computer, the live screen feed should be available on the webcast. The finished product would immediately be posted for review and comment by the public. The webcast would also include a live comment window so fans could do play by play. It would make them think twice before imposing any more AGI phaseouts, at least.

Less ambitious, but also worthy, is a suggestion from one of our administrative people. She says that when she buys a new outfit, she takes an old one out of her closet and disposes of it. She suggests the same principle apply to words in the tax code.
