National sales tax. Get rid of the income tax altogether. No value added tax, just a straight sales tax with a limit of 10 percent maixmum, no deductions for anyone and an abolishment of the 16th amendment.
Beautiful dreamer ....
There isn't a single politician in either major party who'd be able to live with this limit.
More's the pity.
Nope sorry. I don't trust a sales tax. A sales tax is a vote away from a VAT, and that's just a three letter word for evil. Politicians can play with a sales tax by cleverly altering what's taxed, effectively raising the ad valorem tax, without seemingly raising taxes. The beauty of the flat tax is that everyone knows instantly if it's raised, and how much it's raised.
