Whether we have the best of all possible systems was not the article’s argument. I agree we do not, and would probably agree with many of your ideas for making it better.
The article’s claim is that other systems are working better than ours economically. This is factually incorrect at this point in time, although it could certainly become true at some point in the future.
Given the fact that we are presently carrying the defense/police burden for the entire world so that international trade can go on, I think we’re performing admirably.
Well, there may some truth to what you say...
I see it as a wake up call for all of us.
I am not necessarily advocating the Fair Tax but I would support any idea like it or the flat tax to simplfy our tax code and put the money back in the hands of the people for their hard labor.
Have a great weekend...
