"Taking a cue from my boyhood hero Richard M. Nixon , the last great liberal president, it's time to talk about what's right with America, specifically with our tax system.

The U.S. economy, largest in the world, magnet for foreign capital, spawn of miraculous technical innovation—and among advanced industrial nations one of the fastest growing—surely must be the beneficiary of an excellent tax system. Otherwise, how could we be doing so well?

Let us count our blessings."
