What we need is a simple flat tax. Just pay a certain percentage on what you buy and April 15th will become meaningless and we can finally toss out all those boxes of records and have room for another car

There are some issues with that way too but then everybody pays including all those tourists and illegal immigrants.
The Constitution says that any tax burden put on the people must be able to be understood by anyone who has simple common sense. Ill give a hundred bucks to anyone, even a 20 year tax lawyer, who not only has a total understanding of our tax system but can also explain it in simple common sense.
