Hey Rick...
“A recent study shows that U.S. taxpayers waste an astounding $431.1 billion annually on tax compliance. That means that we pay about 30 percent of our total income taxes Washington receives, just to be able to pay them! How large is $431.1 billion? Its more than the dollar value of all the goods and services produced in 42 individual states, such as Michigan or Virginia and even the nation of Saudi Arabia!” Support the FairTax!
That's like saying, "Support the Black Market." If you think the drug war was bad, just wait until there's a substantive NRST.
Any tax system will be bad as long as we can't rein in spending.
