SEC. 2. SENSE OF THE SENATE.
It is the sense of the Senate that Congress should--
(1) simplify and shrink the tax code to reduce burdens on
taxpayers and businesses;
(2) eliminate wasteful tax breaks for special interests and
remove corporate tax loopholes;
(3) get rid of extra tax breaks for millionaires and
billionaires; and
(4) crack down on cheaters and close the tax gap.
