My wife & I support a flat sales tax or consumption tax where everyone is involved in paying for the costs of government. It would be less invasive of our private property rights. We will always work against the politicians who support an income tax. It is the least fair & I feel immoral method of taxation. Our federal income tax is more akin to a system of legalized plunder. An income tax tells me the fruits of my labor do not belong to me except what the government allows me to keep. I recognize that I have to pay for my part for the cost of government. A flat sales tax would involve everyone in the process. The basics of life can be exempted from a sales tax to protect the poor. Possible exemption examples could be food, medicine, clothing & housing. Marx & Engels in their Communist Manifesto supported a progressive income tax. Our Founding Fathers supported a consumption tax. https://nccs.net/1996-03-answers-to-americas-tax-problems
