While the FairTax does have an advantage in that regard (being in bill form and having many representatives' support), I'm pleased that YN is making comparisons to other plans, even if they are in general and not to a specific bill.
We can discuss the merits of a NRST over an income tax withtout discussiong the specifics of a particular bill or our particular system.
Actually, I am curious, has the version of the VAT he discussed been proposed in legislative form?
