Wasteful spending and taxes go together so I disagree with this statement.

While I agree that spending is a problem. I do not think that is a problem for a tax reform. Taxing is about the taking of money not the spending of it. Also it would be much harder to pass a tax reform if you tried to tackle spending at the same time.
I think we should work on the spending problem, but there it would be almost impossible to tackle it while completely changing the way taxes are collected.
