Here is a fix for taxes that would work and no one is left off of it. A straight % sales tax on everything but food and clothing. This would also make the IRS smaller, less government spending etc... And as far as our economic mess goes giving money to the banks and etc... not the way to go. Should have taken the almost 3 trillion and givin it back to the people that paid taxes in the first place, so they could have taken care of their mortgages. The pain would have been a lot less than it is now.
