President Obama, want to save your approval rating? Eliminate tax breaks Washington Post

Inevitably, perhaps, President Obama has become entangled with Washington politics, caught up in its fractious mud-fighting. He tries to distance himself from the squabbling, but he mostly appears to be vexed and scolding. He needs a way to break free, a way to show that he is a true leader who can transcend beltway-cable TV politics. To be sure, it is hard for incumbent presidents to campaign as reformers—in effect, to stand apart from the government they run. Still, Obama needs to find a way to rise above, and in a credible fashion that promises real change.

That chance to reclaim his leadership credibility? Taxes. Both Republicans and Democrats have begun to call for tax reform that would lower tax rates while raising additional revenue by eliminating tax breaks and loopholes. The plans advanced are all woefully complex, however, and invite endless battles against individual interest groups—the equivalent of political house-to-house combat. Obama needs to cut through the morass and offer a straightforward, easy-to-understand solution with broad popular appeal.
