Jim Manzi’s essay “Keeping America’s Edge” in the latest issue of National Affairs has gotten a lot of attention and praise on the web the past few weeks, and a number of commentators have argued that a natural companion to the proposals Jim ends with would be a pro-family tax reform.

I definitely agree, and I’d point out that in the very same issue of National Affairs, Bob Stein offers a detailed outline of precisely such a reform — one that all right-leaning politicians should take note of.
