I’ve always said that states should dump their income taxes, property taxes, gas taxes, and user fees and switch to a single sales tax. I wouldn’t mind paying a 10% sales tax on everything if all of the other taxes were abolished.

Aha,,they will suck you in....if they do it. They might try something like that (doubtful), but they would add a temporary provision so that they could add the taxes later.

The Fair Tax is a great idea that will never be supported by any state or federal plurality. After all, with the chances of vote buying reduced and little if any chance of income re-distribution, why should professional politicians sign on?
