OPEC tax shift

Greg Mankiw provides some hard budget info:
For example, if I am reading it correctly, we could increase the gasoline tax by $1 (see revenue option 48) and reduce all ordinary income tax rates, AMT rates, and dividend and capital gains rates by 2 percentage points (see revenue option 1) to produce an approximately revenue-neutral tax reform.

That's a start.

But Kitchen Linker really likes a comment by "Mr. Mercy Vetsel" on Mankiw's post:
Amen! Now we just need to package that with a clever name that doesn't inspire thoughts of pork...

Preparing to join the "OPEC Tax Shift (Shift Taxes to OPEC)" club

Amen!
