You kill me with the equal taxation theory. That will never happen as long as we have an income tax, not to mention the current tax code is so convoluted that no one knows it.

The ONLY way to get a fair, EQUAL tax is to specifically, absolutely abolish income tax, and go to a flat sales tax. Add in some exemptions for corporate raw materials to prevent double taxation, some reimbursement forms for the Indians ( constitutionally exempt, remember ) and you will have a tax code which would fit in a pocket notebook. Not to mention cutting out two-thirds of the IRS. Maybe even throw in a one time fine of say, ten grand for any delinquent taxes. ( I have a few relatives whom would jump on a deal like that ).

A flat sales tax. Simple, fair, easy to implement and collect.
