I disagree of course - I think the sliding scale discourages work - if everyone pays the same reasonable tax of 10% or less it's better for all. Besides it's fair across all income brackets, your suggestion it would encourage savings is of course only for those that can afford to save and the more you make the more tax you can avoid - this is the foundations of class warfare.

As others have suggested our government would enact this consumption tax before they eliminate the existing income tax and then we'd have both.
