I agree. Make a flat tax and eliminate the IRS too. I know, I know, that would make it difficult for Obama and Hillary to persecute their political enemies but it would be for the greater good.

Buck, have you made amends with the IRS yet?

no way.

a poor person spends nearly 100% of their income. so they would be paying the national sales tax, say 28%, on nearly 100% of their income. they'd face a 25% income tax.

whereas a wealthy person might only spend about 5-10% of their income in a given year. their tax rate would be 2-3%.

that's regressive and only hurts the poor.

and tax laws that you don't need a phD to figure out would be nice too.

i still think a national sales tax would work. could completely eliminate the IRS. illegals pay, poor people pay, rich people pay. only way you don't pay taxes is if you never buy anything.
