I don't really see the need for large-scale tax reform.

I don't favor a flat tax for 2 reasons:

-I think a progressive tax is better.
-Real estate values will crash if the mortgage interest deduction is eliminated, and many people would no longer be able to afford their monthly payments.

A sales tax would be highly regressive, and I don't know how it would be administered if there was a credit based on income.

I'd rather stick with what we have now, maybe with a little tinkering.
