A whole lot of commerce is done under the radar screen ... you are correct Rigin. It has and always will .... in income tax it's the straight players who get whacked (bigtime) also ... the rich get the most benefits out of the loopholes ... so let's eliminate it across the board ... the rich will be the ones spending the money and believe most of their big purchases will be above the radar screen the and they will be paying their share of the taxes. Having a higher sales tax will also mean that the illegal drug dealers, con artists who have not been paying their share of income taxes will with a higher sales tax.
