This is as useful as deconstruction is to understanding english literature. Start with the premise one needs revenue for a government. So you have taxes.

You would not end up with a system as complex as ours in doing that.

I find it ironic that after this response you basically agree with me on the need to phase in any repeal of the mortgage interest deduction.
So we agree substantively, but our reasons differ.
