He wants all taxes to be purely a sales tax (with exceptions for food or whatever). This isn't necessarily a bad idea (like a VAT) to replace the 3-tier (income, property, sales) type of tax system. It encourages saving rather than spending blah blah blah. It has the unintended consequence of making it tougher from economies to recover from down cycles, etc.
The problem is he's just buying his way to his solution - not exactly a "debate of ideas", more like steamrollering it with trucks of money -> plutocracy.
