yeah I was for that HOWEVER, did you see how terezas army of CPA's were able to determain that she had to pay less tax on her billions than most lower middle income tax rates?\
You keep all the beurocracy in place if you keep the flat tax. National sales tax has the infrastructure already in place with state sales tax, (except in smaller states that will have to impliment it ie oregon)
The effects would be immediate, you would see like a 40% increase in your pay check. Yes prices would rise because of the tax but the people would recognize the fact that it is thier decision how much they are taxed.
I would incourage you to look at the cato institute work on the subject.
Actually, the price rise would not be apparent after the system balances out.
The taxes which are now part of the cost of consumer goods, would be eliminated, thus reducing their cost.
The consumer would have more spendable cash, and would pay the sales tax at time of purchase, on cheaper goods.
