Can you imagine what a 23% tax on food and other nacessities would do to our economy?

Sure. It's pretty easy to imagine, actually. The standard of living of everyone except the top 10-15% of earners (roughly) would go down, immediately and permanently.
The fantasy notion that the Regress will get rid of the income tax, ever, is driving this nonsensical idea. Pass a 'fair' tax, and we'll have both a 'fair' tax AND an income tax.

Yes, but I can clearly see what the income tax is doing already. Tell me then, why do you support the income tax? What are its advantages?

Can you imagine what a 23% tax on food and other nacessities would do to our economy? You're already paying that much now, even if you don't know it.

BTW, can you imagine what a 0% income tax would do to our economy?
