"The NRST may indeed be the best thing since sliced bread. But we'll never know, because I and many Americans simply don't trust you and will never vote for it." For crying out loud! Find out for yourself---no one should be voting for or against anything based on how much they trust someone else.

You all have been making a big deal out of the inclusive/exclusive rate.....have you bothered to figure out how much you pay in taxes now? Have you bothered to add up your income tax, the embedded taxes you pay, the salary hit you have b/c your employer pays half of your SS tax and a bunch of payroll taxes for each person that they have working for them? Do you know what you pay, what this country pays, in compliance cost each year? Do you understand the 20,000 page tax code that we now have? What is the cost to this country and to you to have Washington full of lobbyists and special interests groups? Have you bothered to read HR25/S25?

Yes.

Am I taking a salary hit because of my employer's half of the SS tax or is embedding them in the price of goods I pay?

I know what I pay ($29.95 for TurboTax plus an hour and a half in time). We can only estimate what the country pays.

Do you understand the 20,000 page tax code that we now have?

No. Why would I want to?

What is the cost to this country and to you to have Washington full of lobbyists and special interests groups?

I don't know, but do you really think they would all just pack up and go home if the FairTax were passed?

Have you bothered to read HR25/S25?

I've read H.R. 25 from the 108th several times. The related Senate bill for the 108th was S. 1493. I haven't been able to read H.R. 25 or S. 25 for the 109th because they haven't posted it yet.
