“For Darman, tax reform had a more fundamental goal—it addressed a deep and abiding problem in the American political and social psyche. The disintegration of the tax code over the past few decades had undermined people’s faith not only in the tax system, but in government itself, he believed.”

“McLure and Pearlman argued that the capital-gains break should be eliminated. Income from the sale of assets, they said, should be treated just like any other income.
