I'd rather have a straight flat tax system of some sort to prevent this

I'm all for a simplified tax system, but I wonder how long even a flat tax
system would stay simple. A loophole here, and a loophole there, and we
once again have a mess. However, I would agree a flat tax would be
preferable to a sales tax (at least I think that's your preference).
