Not sure how Robbie feels about national tax, but I agree with him that spending is the main problem... the idea sounds decent in theory, but if we introduce national sales tax, then without a doubt sum of sales tax + new flat income tax will result in higher tax revenues? so government will have more $$, will spend more $$, and the problem of government overspending will become even worse...
Like someone said earlier in the thread (I think?):
Government is not unlike your personal finances, if your wife spends 150% of what you make, getting a 2nd job, or changing careers isn't going to solve your financial problems...
