Again, simplify the system... flat tax businesses at a reasonable rate, cut out all the bullshit, and let the market determine who sinks/swims. Granted, they'll try to pass the buck to their employees and the consumer, but the market will eventually correct that.
I like the flat tax or consumption tax models, but they simply don't give a government the stable operating budget that they need for day-to-day operations.
