I agree that the income tax sucks, it's complicated, prying, and cumbersome. But the struggle will be keeping a sales tax simple and fair or it will just be deja vu all over again. All the politicians will stand up and go, "Here's little Milly Jones who lives in my district. She's a little old lady barely able to get by on her social security. She survives only by eating scraps of gum she scrapes off the table bottoms at the local cafe. How sad. Is it right that she pays the same sales tax rate as a fat cat billionaire? Where's the justice? Vote for me and I'll see that the billionaires pay their fair share" All the sheeple will gather around and chant "rich be nervous, poor relax, billionaires pay high sales tax" Next thing you know you have to prove your income before you get you government issued sales tax rate card and we're right back where we started. I'm just not sure were at the RIGHT place politically to do it right. If it happens I hope so, but I think we need better leadership to get us there.
