“with no cap”

True enough. But, the Income Tax started out at something like 1%, didn’t it?
Regardless of the form of the taxation, if we (the people) allow it to rise to onerous levels, that would be our fault. Our fault for not holding accountable our elected officials to represent us within the confines of the US Constitution.
The FT, at least, puts the tax on the consumption side, over which we have some measure of control.

The Fair Tax universal welfare payments scheme would start out at 30%,

control!?

HA!

States go insane over the fact internet avoids their sales taxes.

30% is a HUGE incentive to find EASY means to avoid a tax.

Only “little people” pay taxes. especially a 30% sales tax.
