Now we await the promised White House response. I can pretty much bet on what it will be.

Every election will be a fight to see which libtard will offer the biggest pre-bateYeah, that's a killer. The freeloaders stay freeloaders.
The 18-20% tax on something like a car or house would, IMO kill that market.
Then there's the double taxation problem on Roth IRAs and the like.

Does anyone have an opinion on replacing the payroll tax with a 1% national sales tax to fund SS and Medicare? A one percent sales tax wouldn't fund it. In 2012 we spend roughly $1.45 trillion on Social Security and Medicare. For a 1 percent sales tax to cover that you would have to have $143 trillion in taxable sales. That's considerably higher than our total GDP by a factor of 8 or 9.

If your math is correct how would using the sales tax just to fund SS work out. I am not so sure Medicare will survive Obamacare anyway.

and imagine getting a lump sum ‘pre-bate’ every tax year? it would be worse than a tax-refund is now, because ALL the morons would be getting one- there would be a rush on flat-screen TV’s and the latest iPhone every year, and then they would complain they are starving and need more money the rest of the year
