Shift the tax to corporations? Ever hear of capital flight? This avenue has been explored by economists, and most agree that it would cause most corporations to move to other countries. Many are already doing so to avoid the corporate income tax, and taking jobs with them. It doesn't work for one country to adopt radical changes in its tax methods that don't mesh with those of other countries. Right now the U.S. benefits from overall lower tax rates, keeping a lot of corporations and capital here that would otherwise move away. One of the reasons I propose the purchase tax, which is similar to the value-added tax used by most other countries, is that it would avoid capital flight.
