Tech Central: "Regressive" is good.

Tech Central Station takes on Hastert's idea to abolish the federal income tax (an, in so doing, the IRS).

They seem to have questions about how to replace the revenue.

My suggestion is to restore the federal government to it's constitutional limits and fund what's left through a combination of a sales tax and user fees.

Regressive? You bet. Equal protection often is.

But it's a hell of a lot better than punishing success and rewarding failure.
