      I've never seen it happen because even though there are shared incremental goals, the long term goals are pretty different.

      Even Milton Friedman favored a negative income tax to tackle poverty. Today's libertarianism morally and intellectually bankrupt.

      You've defined being forced to pay taxes as violence. This re-definition has zero basis in American history, or even western civilization.

      No basis in American history? Like nearly all of the Framers opposing income tax and it not existing for the 1st 100yrs of American history?

      What do you think would be different today if we switched to a national property tax instead of an income tax? I'd be in favor.

          Sure my rent would go up if a national prop tax replaced income tax. But I'm sure I'd still be paying a lot less.

          A national property tax would be extremely progressive.

          You could also do things like taxing commercial property more or other things to move the burden to capital owners.

          Doesn't work that way. Landlords don't have to reveal their tax burdens so they can mark up as much as they want.

          Tax would be based on value of property which is public knowledge.

          Sure, but that doesn't stop a landlord from charging more than their tax burden. Trying to take tools out of their toy box.

          I'm curious about the flat tax myself. It's wildly regressive, but advocates talk about the poor getting a refund check to compensate.

          The most poor today pay negative taxes, depending on just how poor they are. Flat tax is unlikely to be so kind.

          That's why the Fair tax has the "prebate". They basically give you a check to give you back some of the sales tax
