The truth is that this might start a flat tax revolution

The Flat Tax or a Nat'l Sales Tax would beat our current system and lower, if not eliminate, the need for the IRS.

A sales tax would be good because it would bring illegal aliens into the system. Of course its downside is that it would turn all merchants into Federal Tax Collectors.

Agreed, although I don't like the idea of every merchant becoming an agent of the government either.

Most people do not completely consider the behemoth that is the IRS whereby, being Government employees are paid through tax-dollars. Then the IRS employees checks are taxed whicha amounts to nothing but pure Government confiscated profit...
