Gabe and I are not on opposite ends, but I'm a bit more skeptical about how much we can actually simplify the legislation. There's a trade-off between fairness and simplicity, and that happens every day. If you have a taxpayer before you, and you ask that taxpayer if he would rather have fairness or simplicity, if it's fairness for that person, he's going to choose fairness every day. They'll take the complexity every day of the week and twice on Tuesdays.
