But wouldn’t business owners just pay themselves a low rate to dodge tax? It may create more loopholes than already exist. Don’t think it could work.

Consumption tax is what they are calling sales tax now, sounds better right?

Could income tax be replaced by a consumption-based sales tax?

Sometimes called the Fair Tax, a consumption-based tax is often touted as the answer to the country's tax problems. But could it work?

Didn’t think of that, but the old idea of ditching income tax has its merits too. After all, it’s not a crime to make money, just to spend it.
