Look at the models of other successful cities/states. They have sales taxes (which results in a sort of fair tax type scenario) A sales tax treats every person equally and allows American businesses to thrive. By lowering property taxes, state income taxes, and eliminating excise taxes the result would be that residents have much more disposable income to spend on items that produce revenue from sales tax. I think it's pretty simple.
