I was going to comment on this eventually after hearing two guys on the radio talking about this. President Bush is apparently going to propose eliminating Income Tax and switching us over to a national Sales Tax (the guys on the radio opined that President Bush should sale it more as getting rid of the Income tax as opposed to setting up a national Sales Tax). Echidne of the Snakes has done a great and detailed review of why the arguments in favor of this change don't make a lot of a sense (which kind of renders pointless my own review of such problems).
My question for the guys on the radio and Karl Rove is exactly how foolish do you think Americans really are? Do you really think they are going to hear something like "we promise to get rid of the income tax" and just mindlessly assume that there are no hidden costs? If they are that gullible, why not just offer everybody free ice cream if they vote for President Bush?
Anyway go read Echidne of the Snakes' comments, they really are quite good.
