Hastert Calls for Flat Tax?

Any comments on this? Drudge Report on Tax law changes. I’ve argued for a VAT or a sales tax to replace income tax in the past. But it’s like getting rid something that has become habitual, like losing an old frien. What about all of the tax accountants out there? Can they be absorbed into other accounting areas? Income taxes have been around for so long, it is a little scary to think of them as maybe going away. Can you just reset the economy like that? Won’t there be some glitches in there somewhere? Will they keep the SSI tax? Medicare? Wow!!! Lots to consider here. A Flat Tax? No deductions?

You know what? Hell Yeah!! We’ve all been saying this is a good idea for years.
I say bring it on!!!
