I'm in fairly vehement disagreement with Sanders on a bunch of things, including tax policy and his view of economics and the role of government generally... but you realize how, er, extreme this statement is, right? No incentives in tax policy? So, like, no small business deduction, no flow through shares, you're against all of that stuff?
To borrow your words, I guess I just fundamentally disagree with you. Tax policy can be a tool that can be used well or poorly, but to not use it at all seems like a wasted asset.
