Switch to a national retail sales tax and cancel the income tax. Lot less paper. And the black market money gets taxed like any other money. And poor people pay taxes (as they should).

How would a national retail sales tax apply to the black market? If I buy some dope from a guy’s trunk, is he going to collect tax & send it in? Or if I pay someone cash for produce he grew, what makes him send in the tax?

If that happened an overwhelming majority of Americans might start paying attention to how much money the government was wasting and that simply must not be allowed to happen.

Reminds me of time I was in Denver having a drink when a booming voice entered the bar and said: When Duke drinks everyone drinks. So, the barkeep poured everyone out their drink. Duke then boomed out: and when Duke pays, everyone pays.

Duke incidently was a five foot thin guy in a ten gallon hat. Almost looked like a hat with feet. Funniest guy I ever met.

I like the idea of the national sales tax, but if the income tax amendment is not repealed, we would end up with both eventually.
