How is switching to a tax on consumption going to help? We already have
sales taxes.
If you don't buy much .. you don't pay much tax. It would be too hard to
enforce.
The answer is the flat tax. Just like Soc Sec .. EVERYONE pays the same
percent of their income. Period. No deductions. No sliding scale. No
cutoff.
Nothing. If you made $2000 last year you pay the same
percent of your income as the guy who made $2 million. Handled through
payroll deduction.
The problem is that CPAs, tax attorneys and everyone else involved in
handling the
current nightmare tax system would never let it happen. Their PACs would
be
paying off
every congress critter out there to prevent it.

The problem with the flat tax is it keeps the IRS...the worst agency since
the Gestapo.
