Keeping in mind that this will not come to be for the simple reason too many people in powerful positions see this as an loss for them.

Accountants - oops, not as much demand

IRS - oops.

Politicians - Uh oh. There goes a major table slapping terrifying subject to rally the troops with.

Which is why none of this will ever make it past any house of Congress. So basically we are stuck with the same ole system and making any attempts to legally shelter money, get tax breaks, or do what ever you can do to avoid wealth redistribution.

Absolutely. That is the part that upsets me. I see politicians touting more "progressive" tax systems knowing damn good and well it benefits no one but themselves. they're power brokers, nothing more nothing less.
