That’s the basis of the Fair Tax movement, but that would require politicians to vote to remove a major source of money and power. Several years ago a state politician was supporting the idea during an election. The people running against him ran adds about how he wanted to eliminate the child tax credit and mortgage deduction, they left out the part about eliminating income taxes completely. Like I said earlier, a politician will slit their wrist with support for a consumption tax about the time that we lobby to end cabotage restrictions.
