While I don't necessarily agree with the CATO Institute's push for a flat or sales tax based system (the "all of Europe" is doing it so we should too argument is actually insulting to anyone of even average intelligence, as are the somewhat misleading policy reasons offered for a flat or sales tax), I am in total agreement with this one truth implied in the clip: our U.S. Tax system ought not to be used as a vehicle for implementing federal policy. As a matter of fact, if we really wanted to simplify the tax code, while maintaining our current system of taxing on a sliding scale, all we have to do is simply quit taxing based on policy directives. Period.
