And a progressive income tax, with its millions of loopholes, makes more "sense"? Which dictionary are you using for your definition of "sense"?
The collection mechanism is already in place for the income tax. I say, close ALL loopholes, get rid of ALL deductions, and charge everyone a flat 10%. End of problem. With a flat tax you would still see nearly all of the IRS and high priced accountants looking for other employment.
