The problem with a national sales tax is that rent seekers would forever be lobbying congress to exempt their products. This put politicians right back where we don’t want them, trading favors for campaign cash
It’s also a burden on business, making them the tax collector for the man.
I prefer a flat tax for these reasons.

Employers are already tax collectors robbing our paychecks for the man! Sales taxes and such were what we grew our great nation on...job taxes are what has destroyed it...largely.

No federal taxation, except as a percentage of whatever each state collects. The CATO Institute calls this
Reverse Revenue Sharing This would "get the federal government out of the business of taxation and would instead allow for 50 different experiments in optimal taxation across the different states."

Whatever tax regime one prefers, it should have one and only one objective - raising revenue. Social and financial goals should be addressed by separate legislation.

A flat tax is STILL a Marxist tax on incomes (wealth creation). Never forget that you always get LESS of what you tax. I thought we wanted to produce MORE wealth here, not less. I thought that was what made America different?
