There's no question it would work well. The problem is instituting a sales tax and worrying that Democrats will get control of the Congress at some point. They can't prevent it being increased by some 2/3 requirement--that too can be amended. It would take a Constitutional amendment to prevent legislative tinkering. Good luck with that.

So, it's risky. I like the part about wiping out the IR Code, but maybe instead of a sales tax, get the revenue from a higher income tax and corporate tax--11 or 12 or even 14 and no sales tax.

What stops the rates from going sky high now?

THE TAXPAYER. Only this time, everyone is paying taxes. The plan is booby-trapped against raising rates. Every time they try to raise the rates, everyone will SEE it (no more sneak-a-taxes) and even the liberals will be hollering how they will be raising rates on the poor.

When the federal income tax was created 100 years ago, didnt all of our legislators tell us that the income tax rate would never get higher than 9%?
