yknow, it would be cool if there was like, income tax.

it really is. The primary reason they do it is because it makes tax more flexible, but realistically, income tax is realistically going to account for everything.
If you spend more, you're making more, or spending less and spending more elsewhere, so it really doesn't matter. Just having income tax on a federal and state level would be so much nicer. Because then you don't have to think about your tax at all. If you work with an employer, they would basically write that shit for you. If you work for yourself, it's easier than it currently is, most likely.
