Ray makes the argument for a National Sales Tax.https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6993428527180764908&postID=2150320982621273644. That idea has certain appeal based on what seems to be the fairness of it (you get taxed based on what you spend and simplicity. (Everybody understands the sales tax).
It would need the proper exemptions to not burden low-income folks — food, child care, etc. I'm not sure how the retailers would like it, conservatives have floatedthis idea over the past several years, but it has never really caught on.
I have heard that Brownback, if elected Gov. will pursue abolishing the state income tax, presumably in favor for more state sales tax. He's been an advocate of the Flat Tax, which is an attempt to simplify the current income tax structure.
