is the only way to prevent "paid for" politicians. If the president is limited, so should be everyone else.
How do we make that happen? No politician would vote for it.

Let the people choose which way to pay & which level of government gets those funds. Cap the amount that can be paid in tax of every single individual based on their ability to produce value.
Good point in the sales tax regarding businesses not knowing, though it could be as easy as setting a federal flat sales tax, income tax goes to states, and any sale done online or through a CC/Debit transaction should be easy enough to track.
End of the day any of these should be paid at the end of the year by individuals instead of by others (ie employers paying half of the income tax).
If we didn't change things up, Point Of Sale systems could easily request that sales tax be paid to the state & ask if your yearly deductible had been met using a tax account/card that tallied the total paid every year.
In reality a flat tax of some sort is the easiest to make work.
