The only fair tax….is to have a national sales tax.

I think it is immoral to make every retailer in the country a tax collector.

The idea is this: after sending in your 2001 tax return to the IRS, take your 2001 tax booklet and write "I want a 10% flat tax implemented by 2004,"

I don’t believe sending the tax booklet to the IRS is going to get us much. However if a Senator was to get a few hundred tax booklets it might draw some attention.

Now if we could all agree on which Senator to send them to.

I suppose another option would be to send all of them to Majority Leader Daschle or Minority Leader Lott. Or the Senator who would have the most influence over taxation. I do not know who that would be. Anyone else know?

Every retailer in the country that employs anyone is already a tax collector - income "tax" and "social security" tax. I agree it is very immoral. The employers do government work without just compensation.
