I'm not an economist nor do I play one on the internet but I've always thought a flat tax would be pretty interesting.

Perhaps a flat tax on anything you buy. This way you are only taxed on what you spend.

The draw back with this is it would likely curb spending and likely create a large black market & encourage people to buy things out side the country.

Secondary option would be a flat tax on income, but there are problems with that as well.

Either way I think it's shit that we pay so many different taxes on the same dollar. If the forefathers of this country were alive today, they would have already started a revolution.. Also before we cue the right wing retards.. Yes both Republicans & Democrats are to blame for taxes.. So quit bitching about the left as if they are the only ones to ever tax you.
