Eliminate the income tax..

How do you eliminate property tax, tax the illegal aliens, the underground, the black market? The only tax that gets us all indiscriminately is a consumption tax. The collection agencies are already in place and doing just that. So, what’s the problem?

The problem is simple and complex. We have politicians with runaway budgets, monstrous pork barrel projects, and more greed than backbone. This would take a dogmatic approach and courage, neither of which is very often present among our elected bureaucracy.

Raising the sales tax would then become a personal issue putting control in the hands of the taxpayer/voter, as it affects everyone and we all would do a better job of voting.

There would obviously need to be a realistic list of necessities that would go tax free but that is not an insurmountable problem. The silent majority simply has to become the screaming majority.

This is, however, a mute point. This would take politicians with some serious courage and voters that actually vote, something that is at the present almost nonexistent.
