Do you have a link to the post where I made such an assertion?
No, you don't.
I assert that when you make such a claim, you are mixing apples and oranges.
This is about HOW we tax, not HOW MUCH, or how much the Federal Government spends.
Until you get this clear in your mind, you will remain confused on this subject.
Most people who support this idea believe it will lower their taxes. If you realize that it won't that is good. But when the news is given that their taxes will likely go UP much of your support will evaporate.
