Guess what, we've been here before in 1986 and look what happened. It quickly turned back into the monstrosity it is today.

Income taxes don't work, especially in today's growth of non-traditional jobs. Evasion has been nearly $700 billion a year and growing with more jobs like Uber allowing people to skirt their liabilities. Corporate taxes also don't work and are a myth. Sure, a company may write the check to the IRS, but that tax bill is just another cost of doing business. A cost that is passed along, like any other cost, to individuals.

Eliminating all income taxes and replacing them with the Fair Tax is the only real reform. A simple sales tax on new goods and services above the poverty level, meaning more personal control of your burden and overall compliance. Now everyone, including the shadow and underground workers, will pay their share, and the real cost of government becomes fully transparent.
