It’s too much tax wonkery. Let’s tweak this tax, that tax rate, etc. Let’s optimize the flow of revenues and distributions so we can grow the GDP year-on-year… The giveaway is the presence of Newt Gingrich, who specializes in that kind of thing, and who is always ready to jump in front of a parade in the hopes that people will follow his “leadership.”
