All present federal taxes -- on personal and corporate income, capital gains, estates, even payroll taxes (FICA) -- should be gradually replaced by a new, national consumer sales tax, collected by the states at the point of purchase and forwarded to Washington. **************New MapQuest Local shows what's happening at your destination.
