The reason I prefer the NRST over the flat tax is that the NRST GETS THE GOVERNMENT OUT OF OUR PERSONAL BUSINESS! Why do we think it's the divine right of government to know every little scrap of income we have? And to have the authority to tax us on it? Why do we unquestioningly comply with this?

The only beneficiaries are the people who can legally pick your pocket (or outright rob you) through the current tax code.

Well said. -- And you can bet your bottom dollar that those who are arguing here against the Fair Tax have that hand in your pocket, - as we speak.

This proposal breaks their rice bowl.

Thanks. ;-D As you can tell, I'm VERY enthusiastic about the NRST, for the reasons I mentioned.

My biggest pet peeve with the current income tax system is that I must pay someone to tell me how much I owe (We are a family corp and we have far to many forms to do to do it ourselves) then if a mistake is made I still could be in violation of the law and not have a frigging clue if I actually did break the law until I hire lawyers and accountants to sift through the mess and tell me.

Second biggest pet peeve is payroll deduction. I have a good many friends who think they don't pay taxes because they get a refund.

Oh man is this gonna be an uphill battle to change this madness!
