That being said, it is not going away anytime in our lifetimes as our system has become so reliant on it. Therefore, at the vary least it should be fair. This can be done, I believe, in our lifetimes.

It is for this reason that I was a supporter of Steve “Flat Tax” Forbes when he ran for president. Make the tax code simple and fair for everyone regardless of income level and it would be a start in the right direction.

I simply point out that there are people like Warren Buffett, arguably one of the the smartest and fiscally responsible financial leaders of our time who also agree that the current structure is unfair to all – including those who benefit from it most.
