[quote name="blackwater"]Cash is going away, and credit card and bank accounts are easily tracked. It would be pretty simple to just have a flat tax on sales, payroll, and land. Land has to be registered anyway, or else you don't get the right to use it. The only reason we don't do this because stupid do-gooders want to use the tax code to promote their social policies, and corrupt people would actually have to pay a reasonable tax rate. But it's easier to tell people you're going to build a wall around Mexico or raise taxes on the rich than to try to explain that our zillion-page tax code is a giant scheme for perpetuating oligarchy and waste.[/quote]
