JFRAUD

Keep the Income tax for businesses (WHAT IT WAS REALLY CREATED For). Sales tax for all citizens. Sales tax would NOT be regressive as food would be exempt obviously. You wouldn't be paying anymore payroll taxes either so that makes up a large part of the sales tax. We get along just fine here in FL without a Income tax and our economy is booming. I have no reason to see why it wouldn't work nationally.

If all this stuff is exempt, how the hell are you going to come up with the $2 trillion per year needed? Argue one way or the other.
Either
1. It will pay for the entire federal budget
2. It will be only 23%
3. It will be extremely regressive

You can't win them all.

Well if you think that the government will no longer take any payroll taxes you will save a few hundred dollars a month there. It balances out. Plus the income tax should be kept for corporations as thats what the 16th Amendment was ACTUALLY intended for. This mafia IRS is a disgrace and disgusting.

The corporate tax should remain until we can kill off about half of the federal government's spending.

No, it should always remain in place.
