&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I would never have guessed that I would favor a sales tax on goods over various income tax schemes. But, it finally occurred to me that everybody spends (proportionate to what they have) but not everybody earns a taxable income and even more people are in this country (legally and illegally as temporary workers, students, tourists or illegals, criminals or others engaged in an underground economy) but do not owe/pay taxes to the US. Consequently, a sales tax may be theh ONLY way to make sure that EVERYONE contributes, and everyone has a stake, which is not currently the case. A much smaller percentage of tax, on a much larger slice of pie with many more participants.<br />
