Progressive tax insults sensibility.

A single blanket exemption and then a flat tax either as an income tax or as a consumption tax - tear down the IRS and the waste involved with the crazy tax system we have.

Consumption tax? You expect retailers to become the tax collector for the IRS because you know they will never “tear down the IRS”. Add to that, you’re talking about telling poor people that only have 10 dollars to spend (on food or whatever) on any given day to for over another $2.50. And yes, sometimes people will have only 10 bucks to their name to spend for the day.
