Comsumption tax would capture the underground economy. I would favor that but understand it makes too many people tax collector's.

Actually with a consumption tax there would a lot fewer tax collectors. Today all the retailers collect state sales tax (except for the few states that don't have sales tax) plus all the employers collect income tax, and these employers include all the retailers and non retailers!!!
