After thinking about consumption tax vs income tax I think I would be all for a consumption tax replacing income tax. We are actually a pretty frugal family without a lot of excess consumption and I think the consumption tax would have to be upwards of 25% for me to reach my current income tax amount. We would come out well ahead financially.
