A Consumption Tax is a great way to screw the poor. Why should Bush make every trip to the car dealer and every purchase of appliances a vitural trip to H&R Block? It would discourage people from spending, and because it is a regressive tax is will not make nearly as much money as the federal income tax does. Ironically, Republicans love to bash European "socialist" economies, but consumption/sales taxes are pretty popular in most European countries... just look at the high cost of consumer goods over there!
