Comment: Dear Panel, I believe very strongly that a national flat tax is the way to alleviate not only bureacratic nightmare of the IRS Tax Codes, but also the anemia of the national budget. A national flat tax on sales will ensure that EVERYONE, from the teacher to the Bond Baron, from the drug dealer to the embezzler, will pay their FAIR share of tax to the goverment. Everyone is a consumer on some level. Right now, people who evade taxes don't pay to support the goverment infrastructure, but they DO buy consumable goods. So does the average taxpayer. By eliminating the income tax and moving to a flat tax system, everyone is taxed equitably and those that would normally avoid taxes will be forced to pay them everytime they buy good or food or gas. This just makes sense. Sincerely, Angela Knight Expert help & excellent service for your Loan and Real Estate needs is just a phone call away! Angela B.
