@nknighthb, I can't seem to reply to your last comment, but I'm curious... why are sales taxes "regressive evils?" The more you consume, the more you pay (at least for physical products). This makes sure everyone has skin in the game.
I would argue that an income tax is a moral "evil", but realize we're way past ever abolishing it. There's no inherent reason a governing power should ever know how much income you produce, even though it may be convenient (and popular) to impose. I suppose that's where our worldviews differ.
