Dave Barry on Tax Reform

Here's my proposal, which is based on the TV show Survivor:  We put the entire Congress on an island.  All the food on this island is locked inside a vault, which can be opened only by an ordinary American taxpayer named Bob.  Every day, the congresspersons are given a section of the Tax Code, which they must rewrite so that Bob can understand it.  If he can, he lets them eat that day; if he can't, he doesn't.

I love Dave Barry.

I also have two friends named Bob who would probably cheerfully volunteer for this great service to our nation...and numerous others who aren't, but would volunteer anyway.
