The best tax is no tax. However, since we all know that is not going to 
happen because of the overspending by our governments, State and 
National. Therefore, here are some proposals.

1. A national lottery instead of taxes.

2. A flat rate income tax of no greater than 10% with no deductions on 
everybody no matter of income or source of income. No income tax on 
business. Do away with Sales tax, property tax, real estate tax etc...
Eliminate most of government services and pay for what you want 
individually.

3. Tax all sin. (beer, wine, cigarettes, Playboy,condoms, 
abortions, etc...) This will raise a lot of taxes or morality will 
subside.

4. Go to war with Japan or some other country and lose. Then they can 
support us.

5. Establish an ignorance tax on stupidity. A lot of us would be paying 
this one for the American people can see what going on around them in 
that their country is going to hell in a hand basket.

6. NO SALES TAX. What did the government do to deserve it?
