I see what you mean. That does not sound good.
Nope, and the point is, many will see it that way, even if all these tax wonks make their case that it will work differently.
The truth is, even if it screwed me royally, if you could guarantee that the income tax would be REPEALED as part of it, I would go for it to save my children and grandchildren the tyranny it imposes.
But it will never fly. People in this country don't really want to be free, and they absolutely love class warfare and stealing from the "rich".
