To say 100% is pure idiocy.

Keeping 100% of your income is the very premise behind the Fair Tax. Perhaps she's been doing some homework on consumption taxation. The question was a loaded one, designed to provide cannon fodder for the media. I thought she evaded that damage skillfully if not eloquently.

The problem with our government is not how we collect our taxes. It is that we are taxed too much. How much is too much? I don't know. Maybe we could cut federal spending by 1/3 and cut taxes by 10%. However, Michelle Bachmann believes that there should be no taxes collected whatsoever. She said so in the debate, and she is an idiot.
