Dunno if this is Huckabee's idea or not, but whenever eliminating the income tax is suggested, it is usually coupled with making up the deficit by charging a national sales tax. Washington State, where I live, has a state sales tax, and it's the low-income folks who get screwed with that system. Whenever the suggestion is made to chuck the sales tax in favor of a state income tax, the folks who protest the loudest are local corporations and the wealthy.

Eliminating the income tax in favor of a sales tax is a very Republican idea.
