Doing nothing isn't my position, as any reading of my posts will show.
Not everything is a choice between doing what you want or doing nothing.
There are other possibilities.

And Slemrod is invariably on the low end of the estimates of compliance costs. Most range around $225-250 billion - with some much higher.
When the "net tax gap" of the IRS determination is included ($300 billion) it gets into some real money (1/2 Trillion $) as described here:

Post #113 Oh sure, a National Sales Tax on everything. Great idea. Not!
Post #156 Great, if you believe used items and business to business transactions would never be taxed after a National Sales Tax is set up. Also you would have to believe the tax rate would stay low, the rebate would stay high, and that prices would drop, even though prices didn't drop after the last tax cuts we had. Don't get me wrong, I like tax cuts. I just don't see putting in a National Sales Tax as having anything to do with cutting taxes. My worst fear is that we'd end up with a National Sales Tax AND a National Income Tax. This is just another way for the Government to take away people's money.
Post #157 Wouldn't it be great to pay no Federal Taxes as long as you buy no Foreign goods if the Federal Government got all it's money for operating expenses from import Tariffs as allowed by the Constitution? An Excise Tax imposed on ALL goods and services rather than just on certain goods seems to me to be more over reaching and oppressive a system of taxation than what the Founders intended.
Post #185 The deal could always be changed later once this system is set up. There's nothing to prevent that from being done.
Post #194 Go ahead and be angry. If you can't make your case without misrepresenting my position, then I suppose I should just get out of the way and let you argue both sides.
None of your comments to me provide any alternative. Instead all you do is state the negative. Providing one link without any explanation in your own words is tantamount to doing nothing.
