Abolish the Income Tax and its complexities and just have a consumption (sales) tax. The more you use/buy, the more you pay. No tax shelters, deductions, or mountains of paperwork that you have to save forever. No government records on where you put your money. You pay as you go.

Warren Buffet and Bill Gates wouldn’t like THAT - they couldn’t trade funds and write it off of their income taxes....

The FairTax is my second choice in tax systems.

My first choice is never going to happen: treating your fellow Americans like you would your friends, and split the bill evenly amongst all 300 million people. $10,000 per person too much ? Cut the size of government.

This is still too invasive. The federal government should simply tax the states. Each state may collect or not collect taxes as they will, but the federal government doesn't need to keep an eye on what everyone is buying.
