Right on!  A huge amount of time and money goes into taxation. If we could decide that say, rich people buy more than poor ones, we could have a progressive consumption tax. We need a very simple tax code, as I've said before, 10 pages max. The administration cost alone in collecting all the various taxes is horrendous. Instead we have property tax, income tax, licence plate tax, boater's cards, fishing licences, several fuel taxes, airport taxes, HST and the costs of running them all. 

And stop spending more than we have. For our children's sake!
