"Real tax reform would also help propel a real recovery. Reducing rates and eliminating special interest provisions that give a corrupted IRS too much power over our lives could help bring back 1980’s and 1990’s growth rates of 4-5 percent instead of today’s meager sub 2 percent growth. Simplifying the code would also shift a significant portion of the more than $150 billion Americans spend each year on tax compliance toward activities that create real wealth." - Dr. Tom Coburn
