Are you at a point where you would even consider a consumption tax or are you throwing this point into the mix thinking it will dismiss the idea of a consumption tax? If you are serious we can seriously address the issues.

But being serious, in my opinion, would require some acknowledgment that there are problems with our current system of taxation. If you think there are problems with our current system of taxation what do you think those problems are? Is it simply that the "rich" are not being taxed enough?
