Simplification for the sake of simplification is not a solution.
Although there are an assortment of real problems with our tax system - we are still the wealthiest nation in the history of the world. It does work.
It may not be simple, it may not do all that is should - but it works.
Maybe a complete overhaul is necessary to make it work and make it simple and have it do what it should do. I don't see that in the consumption tax plan. Primarily because it no longer does what it is a major piece of what it should do: target the wealthy.
