I agree with most everything you've said here, esp. about sales tax - it is hyper-regressive.

I disagree about raising taxes on corporations. An econ 101 class will show you that almost all corporate taxes are simply passed on to the consumer in the form of higher prices. It does nothing to tax the corporation - it just hides it from you, the consumer. If you just prefer it that way, well I can certainly understand that.

I actually heard Kerry say that he wants to lower corporate taxes by 5% - very interesting proposal, esp. coming from the Democrats.
