An excellent article about the FairTax. The five qualities covered are: Change in direction, Control, Visibility, Equality and Accountability.

Change in direction comes the fact that American corporations will become muchmore competitive, control shifts from the government to the taxpayer, taxes become more visible since they are paid right at the cash register, everyone pays the same rate regardless of class standing and the cost of government can no longer be hidden from the taxpayer.

I for one am tired of being punished for being single, and marrieds and parents having more and more kids being rewarded with the current tax code. Being married and having kids is a reward in and of itself. The government has no business subsidizing it.

One subject that nobody ever discusses is the effect of a NRST on other nations, particularly those that aren't free. The FairTax would transform the US into the biggest tax haven on the planet for business. As a FairTax America begins to siphon off jobs, businesses, talent and brains from nations with a socialist (or worse) economy, they will have to make changes just to stay alive. Either economic totalitarianism or freedom will be the result.

Control freak nations like Islamic states and communist holdouts will have to grant freedom to their citizens, or become our economic slaves.

This free economy, coupled with a transparent from of taxation, will rock the world.

PING to the FairTax Thread, Brendan.

Whether from the left or the right, there is broad agreement we are on a path that is unsustainable.

Revenue neutral.
