Wrong. Why don't you read the bill?

OK, so it will be passed as written in this bill, amended in no way, and this is the bill that will be passed, and all taxes, from workers comp to social security to the phone tax will vanish instantly, and if it fails no other bill will ever be presented.

Sheesh, why don't you read my post, I predicted how the NRST will be passed, assuming that it is passed at all. I didn't comment on the bill at all. And the question I replied to was asking if all other taxes would vanish with it's passage. You really think that it will ever pass in a manner that just goes "POOF" and all other Federal taxes are now repealed? Get real. Neither Republicans or Democrats are willing to give up the control that those taxes allow, and it will take a significant amount of time to reestablish that control before the taxes could be repealed if they ever are (they won't want to give up the revenue either).

Well, the revenue is supposed to remain neutral.

But the control is the real issue, isn't it? I helped to get my congressman on board (Bilirakis), and the bill now has 44 co-sponsors, including De Lay. It can be done.
