I would prefer it be overseen by someone other than Mr. Huckabee.

A President wouldn't be collecting sales taxes.

Your answer implies someone you don't like cannot possibly have a good idea for the country.

The states would collect the tax on behalf of the federal government and remit to the Treasury. But let's not be detained by that. After all, every one knows Washington knows best and that's the end of the debate.

I don't think it implies that at all. Ron Paul has some good ideas too, but I would not want to see him as President. That Mike Huckabee recognizes our tax system is a mess is to his credit.

Whoever we ultimately choose will need to exercise their leadership and make policy decisions about how and from whom taxes are collected. I would prefer a saner system than what ours has evolved into. Otherwise, honest, hardworking citizens will continue to be enslaved by stuff like this.
