Good point about all of the people it would put out of work. Kind of like the guys who make a living out of a cause (naacp, televangelists, etc etc). They have a vested interest keeping the status quo. I really cannot complain, I have a great company, and make great money in spite of the IRS issues. A flat consumption tax sure would be nice, but I think we would have to have a boston tea party type situation before it would ever materialize, hold on......., Someone's at the door.......
