Greenspan: Simpler Tax Code Could Boost Growth (washingtonpost.com)

I'm pleased that Greenspan is the Federal Reserve Chair. He speaks wisely:
"However, he criticized the proliferation of the many special provisions that reduce taxes in various ways. One problem, he said, is that they distort economic behavior by prodding businesses and consumers to make decisions based on tax advantages rather than pure economics."

The tax code requires dramatic simplification.
