(The original posting suggested replacing our income tax with a value added
tax, known as VAT.)

While you are passing constitutional ammendments, why not a constitutional 
flat tax (which solves the marriage tax problem) ?  A VAT sounds like an
accountant's dream, and a businessman's nightmare.  Personally, I'd rather
KNOW just how much I'm paying in taxes.  Under VAT, your $2.00 shoe would
simply cost more.
