A flat federal sales tax would reduce to almost nothing the governments surveillance of individuals in their homes.
Therefore it won't ever happen.
Especially not here in the US. It might be tried in europe somewhere.
Besides, it would instantly quadruple the cash gray and black economy.
Quadruple? shit, Octuple.
they'd have to make cash illegal.
It would be great tho. Tax would be completely visible anytime you bought something. Income tax is semi invisible - for most people - the money just never shows up in their paycheck.
I'd vote for it.
