What we really need is an end to income tax and a flat consumption tax.

Yes.

Americans on average spent more on taxes in 2016 than they did on food and clothing combined, according to data released this week by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

I don't see how the two are related. Besides, as long as we continue to demand government services, and as long as we want a huge military and lots of other stuff from the government, we have to pay for them. We can't just keep borrowing. Cutting taxes just makes the deficit worse. What we need to do is cut spending. But of course no politician, including Lord Trump, wants to cut spending. The just want to keep giving away more "free" stuff. I put "free" in quotes because of course, it's not really free, is it? They just fool the public into thinking it's free.
