Out of sight, out of mind. You seldom miss what you see.

Has the IRS made paying your taxes too painless? Would writing a check each pay period make everyone aware of how deep Uncle Sam has his hand down in your pants? Would people complain to their representatives when the tried to spread your wealth?

    Take a look at the Fair Tax. The Fair Tax has only one rate. It is a simple end user only sales tax. Only new goods and services are taxed. (After something is taxed once, it is never taxed again.) It has a built in "prebate" that effectively untaxes the poor and makes the whole thing progressive without defining income levels. It effectively ends class warfare via taxation.

    For more information on the Fair Tax, just click on any of the Fair Tax links in this comment.

    By the way, "No tax" is absolutely unrealistic. "Flat tax" just puts us back to where our current system started which was broken from its initial creation. Our current tax system cannot be fixed. It must be replaced. Fair Tax is the best answer. It is the only fair answer.

    If everyone received their entire earnings and had to write a check to the federal government once a month, people would be ready for rebellion.

    most aren't able to discipline themselves to have the cash to pay - just like escrow accounts.

    Ain't that the truth. It is reflected in their choices of representation. Birds of a feather.
