"ancient_geezer, Principled, you two understand legalese better than I. It would be unwise for me to take just YN or ll's word on it. I'd like to here from the pro side not just the antis."Who do you think explained it to them?
LOL!
"legalese" like "any government" and "tax on wages" can really make the little head spin. Some people aren't bright enough to figure out who's lying to them, they'd rather ask the 'you lie and I'll swear to it' lemmings in hopes of getting the answer they want to hear.
The Mastromarco/Burton explanation on the subject is quite clear and I think you'd understand it also, Looey.
Does this response mean that you didn't understand it?
Besides, the question you're pounding your chest with is irrelevant. It doesn't make a lick of difference to me whether gov't purchases, wages, etc are taxed we've talked about why it makes sense numerous times. As long as withholding is eliminated, payroll tax is eliminated, income taxes (personal and business) are eliminated, and the disadvatage to US exporters is eliminated I'm happy.
THe other wrangling you're doing is just a bunch of nothingness for you to pound your chest with.
