Exactly why consumption taxes should be the way!!!

Eliminate all income taxes and put sales taxes on everything,( including services) of 6- 10% to divide 70-20-10 fed state local. Then all those black market money makers at least pay taxes on every dollar they spend, and we normal folks aren't paying all the taxes on income and again on every dollar we spend. So simple...puts a lot of tax accountants and attorneys out of work, though. Tax coffers would be full.
