In every country that ever instituted a VAT income taxes were never repealed.

Well that sucks! But I don't think it is cast in stone. Honestly though, I don't think democrats will ever let go of income taxes. But given that, perhaps they can go back to the original income tax that started at 5X the median income. Today that would be about @200,000. Back to partisan politics briefly, if they loose a lot of seats this time their agreeability to income tax changes like this will come way up.

I am afraid that with democrats the love for taxes is genetic.

I could go for that, coupled with Retail Sales Tax (RST).
