If everyone had to pay in estimates rather than having taxes withheld from every paycheck, there would be much more accountability in government.
And a flat tax, or even better a consumption tax. But a consumption tax will drift upwards over time just like local sales tax.

Get rid of all the bullshite, get rid of all the deductions with exception to retirement savings and medical bills...and pay your small percentage.

The most regressive form of taxation. You will punish the working poor and give a huge break to the wealthy with this plan.

How will you adjust your plan for this inequality in treatment between rich and poor?

This is the first step to a new and ever-expanding tax code. lmao. Just this one little exemption or deduction and you are opening Pandora's box.

Are you a libertarian? Let's abolish government! ...and then slowly recreate those same systems and institutions.
