Dakkon, a flat sales tax would be fine, except you know our politicians would load us up with other taxes and income taxes as well.

That illegal aliens pay sales tax does nothing to alter the fact that they consume services whose cost is orders of magnitude greater than the sales tax they may pay.

More than 50% of the people in this country don't pay any income tax. These are the freeloaders. They are recipients of transfer payments from the productive sector of society. They get to vote to take more of my money. Why am I working for them? What qualifies one group of people as a recipient class, while another sector of society is designated as an involuntary donor class? How is it fair that the group designated as the recipient class gets to vote on how much of my money they get to take from me? While Proudhon the French socialist proclaimed "Property is theft," the truth is, burdensome taxation intended to transfer wealth from one group of citizens to another, is theft. What is to stop the self proclaimed 99% from voting to take all my property?

Socialism is theft, inefficient and the road to serfdom.

PS, it's the Senate that hasn't even proposed a budget for 3 years. Harry Reid promises he will not propose a budget. After all, if the American people saw what the democrats had in store for them, they'd be as scared as they should be.

The Republican majority House has proposed a budget every year. Obama's budget was put up to a vote in the House (against the wishes of the democrats) and Obama's budget was UNANIMOUSLY defeated. Every democrat and every republican voted against it. That's an accomplishment.
