Obama Tax and McCain Tax

The tax code has become a political plaything.   The machinations or our two presumptive candidates are discussed in this Human Events article.  All of these articles miss the point.  Why should the tax code be in play in every election and every meeting of Congress?  Why should important elements of our economy be at the constant mercy of the political hot wind de jour?

Why not adopt the tax policy of "The Rats are in the Cheese."  After that, there is only one discussion...how much to raise the tax rate to cover the latest idea of our representatives.  I believe it would result in a fundamental shift in the way we conduct politics.   Gone would be the slice and dice of the electorate that we have now.  That is real change to believe in.
