Quoted from luckymoey:Personally, I think it would be better if companies did not pay taxes, and all taxes were paid at the point of consumption. People would have a much better appreciation of the total taxes that they are actually paying.
It would encourage savings and tax increases would be up front and center, easily quantified by everyone who is spending money. This is essentially what Steve Forbes was suggesting when he ran for President in '96. It'll never happen though.
