So your simple answer is 'no'. You want to scrap the current income tax and replace it with a new income tax. How very PROGRESSIVE of you.
I prefer consumption based tariffs and NSRT's, but hen gain I am patriot and not a gloBULList Free Traitor.
My answer, Johnny Reb, you great master debater and “patriot” you, is that the tax code should be scrapped completely and a much simpler one put in place. And while I have misgivings about a sales tax as the primary revenue source it should be throughly explored along with other options like a flat income tax, I certainly do not rule out supporting a good national sales tax plan like the one my homeboy Auh proposed. I do rule out 19th Century fantasy nonsense like a tariffs being a primary revenue source.
In any case, your proposal is not on the table right now, my proposal is not on the table right now, his proposal is not on the table right now. Any tariff we have now is ON TOP of every other tax we have. Screw that. The great whore we call the federal government needs to be stealing less money out of the economy, not more.
