You are missing a critical point. "Withholding" means the government gets the money before you ever receive it. That's the key to avoiding maximum response from the taxpayers. When you pay a tax at the grocery store, you've already gotten the money and know when you are paying it out.

And then what, stop buying groceries?...Oh wait I know, we can complain to tax loving deaf ears in Congress.

Even if they are pissed off at all the extra they will have to pay at the grocery store, what can they do about it?

Do you think they can buy "used" food to avoid the tax?

How about a "used" doctors visit? Some "used" gas for their car?

The little welfare check "prebate" wont cover the taxes the average Joe will be spending. Not when it takes all they earn to live.

And add to that the fact that there would be no need for anyone, and especially an agent of the government, to know anything about our income or it's source(s). Why Americans would actually "be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures..." for the first time in a LONG time. Why we might just experience a little real F R E E D O M ! !
