I'd go for that, and it would be somewhat "progressive" too...in that rich people tend to buy MUCH more expensive items, and more of them.

Untrue.

Taxes on consumption are regressive, not progressive -- the "poor" spend a greater part of their income than the rich.

Moving to taxes on consumption would just increase wealth inequality.

Nigeria stopped Ebola? Waayyyy premature to say such a thing. This pandemic is only at the beginning of the "hockey stick" vertical rise.

Pretty crap hockey stick -- no cases since 8 September.

In all countries that we still currently allow people to freely fly to and from?

No, in Nigera. Learn to read.

On the first positive test for ebola, a quick humane administered death and incineration is the only thing that'll stop this thing now. The math says there are at least fifty infected traveling around the country right this minute

No examples? Of course you have no examples, that is the whole point of parallel construction!
