National Sales Tax/Fair Tax is garbage.

Flat tax is the way to go.

I agree. I do not like these "consumption" based taxes. It seems to me that when the economy tanks, the flucuation in tax revenue will be extrememly drastic and it may encourage other "temporary" taxes...

Our current tax system was originally a flat tax.

No flat tax will stay flat for long.

I agree. Most of the ad valorem and sales tax schemes used in foreign countries that I am familiar with wind up being used to augment progressive income taxes anyway. The simplest solution is almost always the best(pace, William of Ockham).
