Implement an amalgamated consumption tax tax that combines all local, state and federal taxes and abolishes all existing tax codes and taxes. All purchases - goods, services, purchases of stocks, bonds, financial instruments would be taxed. Pre-bate, monthly, the tax on poverty level spending to all citizens, so no fraud. We would all know exactly what we are paying, everybody pays, congressmen, government bureaucrats, dope dealers, illegals, cash economy participants, corporations. Exports aren't taxed and imports are, just like all the other countries in the world. State, local governments would determine their tax rates which would be added to the federal rate so local needs are reflected. State/local taxes would go directly to the local entities a'la gasoline taxes.
