You should actually READ the national sales tax proposal. It includes a
monthly rebate to all citizens for taxes paid on necessities of life. There
are many other provisions that make it the only fair way to go, IMHO. The
current system is not working. However, many lawyers and accountants make
their living off of the complex system under which we currently operate. It
is broke, no one likes it, it needs to be fixed, stop whining.

Dream on . . .
National sales tax is dead on arrival.

We boomers realize it is a way to devaluate our savings and pensions.
We've already paid income taxes on what we have saved and put into
pensions. A national sales tax, say of 20%, would amount to our income
being taxed twice. The AARP will never go with it nor will all the other
retirees with savings and pension plans for this reason. Our numbers
are too great for national sales tax to pass in our lifetimes.
