Rudy and the Flat Tax

He hasn't endorsed it, but he's flirting with it. If a leading Republican presents a serious proposal to slash corporate welfare, end agricultural subsidies, reform entitlements, wage war on pork with the veto-pen and abolish much of the IRS with a flat tax, designed both to protect the poor and  to remove all the tax shelters for the very rich, then a lot of people like me are going to feel more comfortable with the GOP. Keep it up, Rudy. And you might just put the Reagan coalition together again.
