Taxes should be though of on two levels. Federal sales tax and state/local taxes.Comment Form
A federal income tax takes money away from the consumer before he has a chance to "consume" with it. A sales tax will give the consumer more money to spend. When he has more money to spend the government will have more money coming in on sales taxes. This also get rid of our headache of "doing our taxes". We will know EXACTLY how much of our money we are giving to the government. The federal sales tax would not have to be as high as you might think. The Federal government needs to be run differently. I have the ideas supplied on my government page. These ideas will help keep the sales tax at a low rate.
State and local taxes should be collected as a state sales tax. An income tax on the state level is just as bad as a income tax at the federal level.
