Thread: Taxes?

Any kind of system involving voluntary compliance will mean people will cheat and be dishonest. The best way is a federal tax on everything that way the more you buy the more you pay. No more cheating the tax collector. No more phony tax shelters or phony business claims and all the other rubbish that goes on now. It would also eliminate the IRS in one fell swoop.

You will still need someone to check that merchants are collecting and paying the tax. Unless, you have auditors visiting stores on a regular basis, you still have a voluntary system, so you haven't eliminated anything.
