Tim -

I'm all for abolishing the income tax in favor of a national sales tax. I'd feel bad for people who make their living helping other people figure out what they owe the Feds each quarter or each year, but it would be a hell of a lot easier to administer and would probably result in increased revenues for the federal government without placing an undue burden on any one segment of the population.

Not sure how Social Security and other payroll taxes could be handled, though.
