That way even drug dealers pay taxes when they buy things from the money they make.

And look at how much we would save with a much smaller IRS.
Works for me.

Not true. They STILL paid MORE in taxes, about 85% of ALL taxes collected, then the rest of us.
Maybe because they have more money.

If the federal government stopped there taxes could be lower. The Federal government attempts to do too much, and much of it poorly.

Polls consistently show throughout several decades Americans want lower taxes and more government programs. Thus 28 trillion dollar deficit.

Nope. For example, in 2019, about 46.6% of U.S. households with an income between $40,000 and $50,000 paid no federal income tax. That percentage is even higher for those who earned less than $40,000.

Big surprise. Everyone wants lower taxes, more government services and lower national debt.
