I favor the fixed-rate sales tax. Here are some provisions:

1) The Several States determine the rate.

2) The rate is no more than 10%.

3) The revenues generated go directly to each State.

4) Each State sends to or withholds from the Federal Government such revenues as they see fit, but is not allowed to use those revenues or income from them for any other purposes.

5) All Federal Income Taxes are abolished before such a sales tax is imposed.

6) The 17th Amendment is repealed, restoring State Legislatures’ election of their Senators.

7) The Several States sit in permanent Conference of States to; continuously publicly review Federal code and legislation for Constitutional correctness, consider Constitutional Amendments, and be instantly prepared to became a Constitutional Convention.

8) Establish, once and for all, that Treaty does not infringe on Constitution.

The purpose of above is to restore our Republic by regaining States Rights and starving the Federal beast back to its Constitutional functions.

Well reasoned and choherent approach. State actually controlling what they give to the Feds would be an absolute wonder.
