Changing tax method

I think I like all of the different changes being proposed in tax laws so that richer people will get by much easier! Not that I am rich, but it would let more "dribble" down!
Georgia wants to eliminate property taxes and add to the sales tax to make it up.
Then there are the flat-head and fair(y) tax people, who want to eliminate the IRS and income taxes and add to the sales tax also to make it up, also.
So, here is a proposal:

Tax on sales for US: 35% (sales-not earnings)
Tax on sales for GA: 8%
New Health Tax for all 20%
To cover property tax 10%

Total sales taxes 73%

It then would be time to shop in other countries where there is no sales tax.
We would also need millions of new jobs to replace the CPAs and tax workers, etc.

Of course, low wage earners who pay nothing now would be dead.
Middle wage earners would become low wage earners.
High wage earners would become midle wage earners.
Corporations would pay nothing pretty much as they do now!

Tax methods?

The IRS will never be eliminated!
73% taxes, maybe---but the IRS will always be there.
If we would just charge China an import tax we wouldn't need any more money!
I suppose they would demand all their loans be paid though if we did that!

Sure would be nice not to have to pay income taxes or worry about getting them done every year!
Also, free health care without insurance would be great.
Just think, a person who owns a $500,000 home would go from paying $5,000 per year to $0! WOW! Evander Holifield would go to zero from maybe $50,000 now.
Of course, a renter now paying $900 a month, would go to $1560 a month--tough!
All those people (maybe 50% of them all) now making about $55,000 per year and spending about $12,000 per year on food would have to pay $20,760 per year for food out of the $55,000 they earn!
Utilities would go up at least 50% on those poor ducks.
On the other hand, many of us making upwards of $200,000 per year could afford the $20,760 for food, and our house payment would actually come down!
I think there is still room to increase the sales taxes from the 73% to about 85%!!!!
That way there would be plenty of household help, roofers, bean pickers, etc., who would not even be Mexican.
Sounds great.
