Its a more effective and efficient form of taxation. What happens to the economy when everyone gets sticker shock and stops consuming? How does Uncle Sam estimate what we will spend so it can budget? The income tax is cheaper to collect, or would be if it were flat. It shares the costs by taking into account our ability to pay for the privilege of being members of this society without going to the extreme of the graduated income tax. And if we cut out the crap that the government does, we could get the rate down to ten percent. Karen
