Tom Elliot of the New York Post editorial board suggests in the Washington Examiner today that a federal Taxpayer's Bill of Rights is a needed Congressional reform:

8. Implement a flat tax. Remove every tax credit, deduction and write-off. If the tax code is inviolable and its purpose is simply to finance the government and nothing more, most lobbying groups will have little reason to exist. Also, enact a federal taxpayer bill of rights. If the government collects more than is required to finance its operations, the surplus will immediately be returned to taxpayers.
