"The National Sales Tax system seems inordinately complex"
The NST is simple. We just impose it on the already existing state sales tax system. It would cost almost nothing to implement, save billions in preparation costs of income tax and fuel a boom in our economy that would be like nothing anyone has seen before.
It would make us more competitive internationally too, by reducing or eliminating it for export. It would reduce the trade imbalance, possibly making us have a trade surplus by making us more competitive. Mexico would start putting factories up here to make Sombreros.;-)
Attaboy! I couldn't agree more. A better climate here for capital investment means more and better paying jobs here for people who need them, whether they are high school educated or Ivy League graduates.
