The rebate still means paperwork. How about a national sales tax with
exemptions for the essentials - food, shelter, health care and education?


I go for the National sales tax with a rebate for people below poverty.


No sales tax, there's to many states that have them already and nobody
escapes. A flat tax with exemption for anybody below 35,000 has been
previously proposed and the numbers seemed top work. The problem,
homeowners will lose their mortgage deduction.

If there must be an income tax, I like the idea of everybody paying some
tax, since the country belongs to everybody and is supposed to be protecting
everybody. .
