I like the Forbes flat tax. Makes sense. National Sales Tax has a risk of making a strong black market for goods. Flat tax would be better.
There is already a "strong black market" There is a 1 trillion dollar underground economoy who don't pay taxes now. Under the fair tax they will beging paying taxes without the benefit of the "Sales Tax Allowance." After all everyone needs to buy bread and milk.
Think about all those illegals who don't pay taxes now. They will under the Fair Tax.
"National Sales Tax has a risk of making a strong black market for goods."
Only because the size of the government is to big and spending is out of control. I have no problem with the government getting a pay cut, even if it is due to a black market.
"Flat tax would be better."
Until it is modified to the same system we have today. The flat tax is nothing but the "reset" button.
