Way too sensible a solution, Leon.

Like a flat tax, there is no political hay/opportunity for politicians,
and their corporate sponsors,to profit from such a solution.

*THAT* is my choice. I could be convinced with the "fair" tax, but
I'm not ready to go there. It would be better than what we have,
