Reply #2: Simplify, simplify, simplify.

Make the tax laws so simple that all the tax lawyers are instantly put out of business. No more loopholes, just a fair and equitable system that takes into account the fact that we all benefit from public projects like roads and schools, but that the reality is that rich folks get more benefit from the system and should pay correspondingly more taxes to cover their share of that extra benefit. Beyond a certain level, accumulating excess personal wealth is just being a parasite on the rest of the planet.
