A national sales tax is the way I would do it. Probably wouldn't tax things like food at the grocery store, but food at restaraunt is fair game. Also, I'd probably have an ascending structure, for instance you'd pay more fed sales tax on a Lexus, than you would on a Kia because they cost more. Rich still get taxed more, but at least they get to decide when they get taxed. What do you think?

What do you think?

I think it is the way to go, and it would eliminate a good deal of the IRS, which is why it will be very hard to put in place. What I like best about it is that you pay as you go. It would also be hard to monkey around with it, as is done with the tax code now. For example, raising the tax would require a very good reason before it could be done.
