A flat tax and a national sales tax?? No thank you. Pick one or the other, for two large sources of income combine for too much temptation to spend and slowly raise the tax rates of both.

I also have come to believe that a significantly larger percentage of Americans need to be subject to whatever tax system we go to. At the present, far too many folks do not pay any income tax, so they have no stake in stopping out of control spending -- "let the rich pay for it and give it to me".

That is one strong argument for a national sales tax instead of a flat tax, although I personally prefer a flat tax on all income.
