I would like to hear some ideas on that. What did they
come up with at the rally besides we pay too much in
taxes. (I got wacked this year)

Lets make this thread into a true tea party type discussion.
Since maybe a lot of us just finished doing our taxes and are
pondering/thoughtful types, how
did you guys decide to make it simple and fair?

We dont have State taxes.

when people leave you stuff that is
not in the form of cash. Its a mess.

The Fair Tax seems like a good plan.
