income tax is necessary, as a large proportion of government funding comes from income tax, maybe it should just be reduced. deductions should still be allowed and income tax should be a federally regulated rate

Well, well, well, isn't that a lovely thought? But let's consider this, a federated income tax rate might not be the best solution. Think about it: regions vary greatly in terms of cost of living and income levels. A flat federal rate could lead to undue burden on low-income individuals living in high-cost areas.

Consider Silicon Valley, where even six-figure salaries struggle to meet the high cost of living. A standardized rate could prove more oppressive than beneficial to these individuals.

Now, what if we implemented a more localized approach to income tax, where rates are adjusted according to regional economic factors? How would you argue against that?

Those are all stupid ideas! How are we gonna fund the government with that? All other countries have those laws.

Taxing consumption rather than income is often justified on the grounds that consumption may be a better indicator of the long-term ability to pay taxes,
