[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 55250"] revenuerecovery, As you said you haven't researched it and I'd suggest you might do that as the many questions you had are answered. You may or may not like the answers but they are answered. I haven't read the article posted but I can tell you a single article is not going to answer all the complexities involved. I'd suggest as a starter to go to the fair tax website and look around a bit. Neal Boortz and Congressman John Linder of Gerogia currently have a book at the publishers on the fair tax to be released in August and is available for pre sale at the many bookstores and internet book sources. Whether the fair tax is the right or perfect answer I can't say but I'm glad to see Americans looking at other ideas. From Linders perspective he believes once the American public is slapped in the face with in what some believe as the true and real cost of gov't that Americans on a broad scale will demand the gov't cut back and thus in time the percentage of the tax 23% at present the purposed rate would be scaled back. I'm not that optimistic as Americans like their gov't security blanket and when it's their pet programs they will scream and cry and the leadership will cave in and the only thing to happen is the % will likely go up.

Take some time to check it out as I'm sure you will find things you like, don't like and generate further questions that quite frankly need to be asked. The idea of some form of flat tax or national sales tax has been around for a couple of decades and has actually gotten better in addressing various problems from the earlier concepts. The Bush adminstration who was pushing for change in the tax system recently announced it has tabled or postponded the process for now.
