Get over what? The cost of an income tax is built into the price of our items. If they buy 'stuff' they are supporting the tax regime, if even indirectly.

The idea of every convenience store owner being a tax collector is anathema to the American experience; I think the culture and conservatives are better served with an IRS and an Income Tax until the damn amendment is repealed all together.

I am saying if you advocate a flat income tax, then trust fund babies still get over because they do not live on income, they still are not taxed the same as others who work for an income. But they have to buy things...expensive things, then they get taxed just like everyone else.

So you don't want an income tax or a sales tax? How would you propose funding the goverment? Or do we not need that either?

If you buy it black market you are only supporting those who need it. When the government does this, the people will find other ways to get things, it's called bartering and if you remember right, the United States was founded because the brits wanted to tax us to death.
