...a national sales tax. It's much harder to hide
from, and seems to be more fair.

I think a national sales tax is more difficult for the poor, who must spend a larger % of their income for necessities. Then if you start exempting certain categories of goods, you get back to buying votes again.

IMO a flat tax, adjusted for inflation, that replaces all other federal taxes is more fair, and it would be more difficult for politicians to hide any increase in taxes.
