No flat tax... still requires the IRS and requires taxpayers to report income to the government. Does nothing to address the underground economy and continues to encourage tax cheating. The government would continue to collect taxes under the threat of imprisonment as they do now, and the jack-booted agents would continue to audit all phases of your life — and most of all, keeps allowing congress to engage in social engineering by allowing deductions, tax incentives, etc.
While the national sales consumption tax isn’t perfect, it’s a darn site better than the alternatives.
The FAIR tax plan I read was inspid and a socialist dream.
The whole “prebate” thing is a joke, what kind of bureaucracy will that require?? Massive. Who gets refunds? Those who paid nothing still get them from those who get to pay higher taxes.
It’s still progressive in other words.
I can already see Democrats running on the plan to raise the prebates for the “poor and middle class” while bashing those greedy Republicans.
Silly.
