"I'd rather have a flat tax."
"I am for getting rid of the Gestapo, er I.R.S.."
These two are mutually exclusive. Which would you prefer?
I think a national sales tax would actually collect more money -- too many people buy expensive goods and never pay a cent (you know drug dealers buying million-dollar boats, prostitutes, etc.,) they'd catch all that money with a sales tax that still wou;dn't get collected with a flat tax.
