I'm cool to the NRST. A flat tax would be much better. Ten or 15 percent across the board and that's that.

Agreed. Espescially with the 16th Amendment in the picture. Wanna bet that we could end up with the worst of both worlds otherwise?

There is one reason I prefer the NRST to a flat tax. Under a flat tax I still have to report to the government how much I earn every year. As far as I am concerned, that's nobody's business but my own.

Under the NRST I don't report to the government a thing. Retailers report their retail sales in taxable items. That's it. No personal information is collected by the feds on my spending habits or my income or anything.

I gotta love that.

Shalom.

That is how the income tax started out, look where we ended up.
