While I agree, the problem is that we need to put into place the structure to do FairTax collections. And that will take about 3-4 years to complete.

In the mean time, there's a good temporary alternative: a no-loophole flat tax similar to what Steve Forbes proposed in 1996. Even that would cut the yearly combined compliance and economic opportunity costs of the income tax by over 70%, a huge boon because we get several hundred billion dollars per year now available for real productive ativity.

I just realized I’m advocating for raising my own family’s taxes by advocating for a simpler tax structure.

I’ve, as Jefferson stated, “structured my affairs such that I pay as little in taxes as is legally possible” under the current system.
