I would prefer not having any income reported or taxed. A national sales tax would have everyone paying, including the idle rich with their offshore accounts, criminals with their ill-gotten gains, politicians and welfare recipients. In other words, everyone who shops and consumes, which is everyone. That is most fair.
“A national sales tax would have everyone paying...”
No, it wouldn’t. It would have consumers paying. We should all pay for all of our agreed upon collective services. If we can agree to that, we stand a chance of having everyone heard. Sales tax creates or maintains government bloat and throws another burden on business. Why do that? It’s ridiculous. If you buy something from a business and he collects a tax and then goes BK before it is paid, to whom do we go to get the money? Sorry, Sales Tax based is a gimmick and a bad one.
