I don't like a federal sales tax. I think it should be a 10% flat income tax.

Those who want fundamental tax reform are in no position to be picky. The Fair Tax has the momentum currently. The flat tax has lost most of its.

Taxing income is Marxist and evil for a host of reasons. Taxing spending is a completely different ballgame. It removes CONTROL, the real underlying issue, from the government and returns it to the individual. The percentage rates however, are a debatable issue. Russia is happy with a 7% sales tax, but you have to cough up 20% to the mob.

That's all God himself ever asked for.

I like the sales tax idea. That way, even Democrats will pay taxes !!!

Any form of income tax, flat or progressive, still means that the govenrment gets to dig around in your financial records to force you to prove what your income is. A sales tax would be enforced at the point of sale only.

A couple of advantages of the Fair Tax is that illegal income is taxed and that we wouldn't have to report our earnings to the government. The old-line wealthy like the Rockefellers and Kennedys would actually pay a whole lot more since they spend a lot of money.
