Fight organized crime. Abolish the IRS.
Neither McCain or Obama proposed the tax plan that really should be done. We need to FIRST abolish the IRS, because if we don't, some politician will want to re-introduce it on TOP of whatever is to replace it.
Then we need a national sales tax, or some variation of it. No loopholes, everyone paying their fair share.
A heavy, progressive income tax was first proposed for this country by KARL MARX! The super rich have always found ways to avoid most taxes, and the poor pay nothing. That leaves the working class to carry most of the load.
Don't believe that Obama will soak the rich. After all, they got him elected.
