I certainly hope we get some real discussion.
I honestly think the US would attract investments from all over the world. After all -- taxing investments is soooo dumb. Investments are in the mattress - they are building houses, they are creating jobs, they are buying new machinery.
If history is any guide this could be the longest thread you have ever posted. This issue needs vetting. I have been an advocate of the Fair Tax for years and the more we look at it the more I like it. It isn't perfect and it still allows way too much government revenue but it's the best proposal on the table.
