No, sales tax should be limited to a state issue so people can escape if it becomes a burden.

Income tax should be flat, with the exact same rate charged to everyone on all earnings, with no exemptions or deductions that doesn’t apply to everyone in an equal amount.

A standard deduction of, let’s say, $12,000 per person would apply to the burger-flipper or Bill Gates.

No more class warfare, if the tax rate is raised it would effect everyone equally by the same percentage.

Liberal pukes wouldn’t be able to rally support for raising taxes on someone else to buy votes, nor would they have much luck in raising them to support the lazy. The RAT party would be out of business.

It wouldn’t take long for a minimal tax rate, to support a very limited government, to be arrived at.

With no deductions, high tax states and cities would lose population and representative control of everyone else.

Income tax should be flat,

You believe in income taxes, whether flat or otherwise, MAKES YOU A PROGRESSIVE. All forms of income tax are progressive, tariffs are consumption based and conservative in nature, easily avoidable. Just don't by imports.
