burton: thank you, dan. jason, do you want to have, say anything one or two minutes, three, whatever in response to anything the other panelists said? dr. fichtner: yeah, a few things. i think we're all in agreement up here. to two things dan said. one was controlling the growth of spending. he is completely right. and i ignored it in a sense as looking at what is good tax reform. but one of the problems going forward is because spending is so high, one of the opposition complaints to tax reform is that it does not raise enough revenue. we keep raising spending. so dan is completely correct on that. we have to get spending under control. that's long-term entitlement , we needo we can avoid to define the ideal tax system, which raises enough revenue to support the things we want but not overspending. he also mentioned something called the fisk, which i have less gray hair but still old enough to remember what it is. you would set up some sort of subsidiary at a nice tax haven that had a lot of sunshine and di
