Consumption tax is plain retarded. For example, someone like Warren Buffet, who has billions in cash, almost never buy anything expensive. He lives in a $36000 house he bought over 40 years ago, drive a $3000 used car. If consumption tax is implemented, he would pay almost no tax at all, compare to the hundreds of million dollars he's paying now each year.
plus, wikipedia search can just adopt the google algorithm, good information usually get more traffic and sites/pages with good traffic level rank on top.

It is like those HYIP on the internet, everyone know it is a scam, but they still buy into it hoping it last long enough to make a lot of money and withdraw everything before it goes bust.
65B is worth a lot of human life, you can hire thugs to kill someone for you for a couple thousand dollars Or if you want to hire high end professional hitman, it cost about $100k per kill. You can conquer a small country with 65B worth of hired mercenaries.
Um no, the rich buy more expensive things, therefore pay more in taxes. The poor person buy $1000 used cars, the rich buy $50000+ sport cars, how is that regressive?
