"I would go for either"

>>> You wouldn't support a flat tax?

"BUT I prefer a VAT tax mainly to capture ILLEGAL source funds for taxation that presently escape the income tax system all together and would under a flat tax also."

>>> There are other ways to capture more grey market revenue. Russia's flat tax of 13% is reported to be successful at that, for one.

"Here in Fla. we have NO income tax and survive purely on Sales Tax which is best for us as we triple our population every year with tourists."

>>> So, how successful would FL be with that if the Feds started sucking up sales tax revenues?
