No.

I lived in a small town (<4,000), off the road network, for eight years. Every time the Mayor announced a wage increase, (because they couldn't attract & keep competent people), the local housing authority jacked up the rent by a similiar % ... followed shortly thereafter by the grocery store, the two restaurants, the gas station, the hardware store, etc.

I concur the income tax must go. But how to do it without getting stabbed in the twig & berries by the wannabe robber barons salivating at all that 'free' untaxed cash is a nightmare.
