"Flat Taxes and Angry Voters" - NYTimes.com

I think we would make the debate so much better informed if we enabled people to better understand how different ideas play out in other countries. Consider taxes and France, for example. How about a profile of a manager in a retail business in France compared to one in the US. How much does each earn, but then how does it all work out in the family in terms of taxes and spending? With all of the time I have spent in France and with French people, I am still a little confused. In order to work, I think, this needs to be a year in the life sort of thing. But, of course, it has to be condensed into something that is animated, illustrated and clear.
