If I read the article correctly, Bush is proposing another "simplification" of the tax code, not the abolishment of it. The last time this happened under Reagan, the citizens eventually took it in the shorts.

Until I hear the word "repeal" and "IRS" or "tax code" in the same sentence, I think it'll just be another make work project for laywers and accountants.

AMEN!!! If the KILL the income tax, a national retail sales tax is fine. But if they only lower it, then they can raise taxes just by jacking up the income tax one year and the sales tax the next. Some of the Lib Rats in Texas tried to sell a state income tax by saying they'd lower the sales and property tax. No way.
