Isn't it time to scrap the progressive income tax and just have a federal consumption tax and nothing else?

The only way to get this done is to start by scraping the incumbents/liberals/socialists. That would mean just about all of them.

If that's what it takes, then we had better get working on it. Course we have 43 now co-sponsoring the bill that would replace the income & payroll tax systems we know have in place. So that means we only need to replace or change the minds of less the 200 more to assure the job gets done.

That's what primary politics is all about. The time to put out the garbage.
