As a small business i now collect sales tax for the state and it is so simple to fill out the report and pay it quarterly it only takes about a 1/2 hour. I would be happy to to do the same for the federal government. I hate the income tax and the government would collect much more with the sales tax and it would expose the underground economy.

I have lived in Britain where they have a VAT, and I'm telling you there are lots of businesses that sell goods "off the books" to avoid the VAT. There is a large bureaucracy there involved in making sure people in the retail trade actually remit their taxes.

Same here. I own a small business and collect and pay sales taxes for two states. It would be no problem to fill out a simple form and write a quarterly check to my bank (just a we already do for Federal Income Tax withheld).
