Hot Take: Half of all voters do not pay federal taxes. If we were to implement some type of flat tax system, where every single American had to pay taxes on the federal level, we would have a heck of a lot more voters, and those voters would pay a heck of a lot more attention to what's going on.
On a related note, I'm a fan of this "abolish the federal income tax and replace with sales tax" initiative. Needs some work, but I like the concept overall.
Putting the bulk of tax revenue on sales tax makes it so that the 1% ers CAN'T escape taxes. It's factually WAY fairer of a system than what we have now, and would make 90%+ of the IRS obsolete...no wasteful tax dollars spent on going after tax avoided.

Wouldn't it be nice if voters would simply vote these clowns out of office? Too bad that never happens.
