All these scumbags would be paying tax under a national sales tax plan.

It would not be enough! Furthermore, this promotes the motive that so many of us despise: Using the tax code to "punish", or reward, such as "wealth transfer".

The reason we are in the mess we are now, is that someone wants to reward or punish somebody else with a tax. Taxes are for only one thing. Paying the governments bills, not social engineering. Even taxing "pimps an' ho's", jus' 'cause dey's pimp's an' ho's, ain't gewd.

What a weird answer you gave.

My post stated a simple concept. Currently we are losing hundreds of billions of dollars in tax revenue in the underground economy. We also lose untold billions in lost productivity as people struggle doing tax returns and gathering required info.

I can't fathom what angle you are coming from, but you certainly do not make sense.
