Income tax is a horrific thing but it is a cash cow for the government, they get a steady stream of income, here it is even deducted out of your unemployment chq. LOL !
I agree that a flat tax on all items is the best way to go, giving people back their money will just mean that they spend it.
I mean, what would YOU do if you have all the money that was deducted from your pay check that you never get to see? in some cases its 10's of 1000's of dollars.
You would spend more that is what you would do and that means:
Economy is stimulated with consumer spending AND government gets taxes anyways.

Praise be my Lord my Rock,
He trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle !
