Abolish The IRS - Sort Of - Then What?

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

61% : After the first year income will be allocated between Social Security and General Revenue.
52% : I understand the idea is to make it an apples to apples comparison to income tax.
47% : Collectively we have chosen to use the income tax not only as a way to raise revenue, but also as a kind of Swiss utility knife to encourage and discourage all sorts of different things.
44% : The bill repeals payroll taxes, income taxes and estate and gift taxes.
39% : I find it inconceivable that industries and interests favored under the income tax will not seek special treatment under the sales tax.
