I bet a combination of a national sales tax and a flat income tax could work. We could have a national sales tax of 6% or something like that. And then you could have a flat income tax of around 10% for anyone that makes over $100,000 or something like that.

I'd be curious to see the math on how big of a sales tax and flat income tax we would need to generate as much in taxes as is being paid right now.
