2. A national sales tax would force everyone to pay -- including everyone in the underground economy, criminals and drug dealers. There would be no escaping the tax if you purchased anything and it would not violate our privacy.

Ony two states voted against the income tax amendment when it was proposed. One was Connecticut and the Senator from there predicted that this amendment would make liars out of the whole country and contribute mightily to our moral decline. This has come to pass. It is time to get rid of this tax that favors those who can send money offshore or those who work off the books at the expense of ordinary citizens.
