FairTax.org is the conservative solution to most of the economic, bureaucratic and corruption issues we have.

Raise the prebate to cover healthcare and UBI. Negotiate the rate to end all income/surveillance/time theft/IRS/accounting empires of the income tax code and various other bizarre revenue schemes.

Paying taxes should be anonymous and easy if you want participation. Nobody should need an accountant to be a good citizen, and everyone should know what things really cost at the transaction point.

Even in the Middle Ages they paid the cannon fodder.

The biggest demand for government is the stuff we buy, not our labor and creativity, so why does our system encourage the former and tax the latter?
