stephen moore is our guest. guest: people listening to this show are probably more of the liberal persuasion. the interesting thing -- if you look at the people who get all these loopholes, the people who buy the two million-dollar homes, they tend to be rich people. what i'm saying is if you get rid of those tax loopholes and lower the rates, you are potentially making the tax system more progressive because rich people do not have a way to shelter their income from the irs. host: we have two tweets. one on the national sales tax. guest: i wasn't talking about a national sales tax. this is the idea of the fair tax. the fair tax would be even more radical than what i'm talking about where you just eliminate the personal and corporate income tax entirely and move towards a national sales tax. just like at the sales tax you pay tax every time you go to the 71-eleven. this is an interesting idea. we need to start taxing people on consumption, what they take out of the economy, and stop taxing work and savings and i
