Ron Wyden actually said...

"The biggest lesson from 1986 is that tax reform is possible when Democrats and Republicans set partisanship aside."

"I have thought for a long time that this insanely complicated tax code plays right into the hands of the special interests and the lobbyists."

"Reforming the tax code is always a Herculean task, but the same strategy of principled bipartisanship can work again today."

"If there's one obvious similarity between 1986 and today, it's that people are quick to say tax reform is impossible."
