Wouldn’t it be nice if at least one of the Presidential candidates would embrace the basic reform that is really needed in the U.S. tax system? Simply simplification. Previous posts on tax simplification issues are here. Interestingly, one of my least favored Presidential candidates — Rudy Giuliani — has the best tax simplification proposal that I’ve seen so far during the campaign.
Tom,
Thanks for linking! I think though that you meant to point to this post, rather than our new model for projecting average wages in the US! Just in case the embedded link above doesn’t work, here’s the TinyURL:

As a heads-up, I accepted a challenge from some of Fred Thompson’s supporters to do a similar tool for his proposed individual income tax simplification proposal, which I’ll post early next week.
Ironman, thanks for the correction on the link. I will look forward to your analysis of Thompson’s simplicity proposal. The more, the merrier!
