"Boortz and the congressman said that the built in taxes in the price of any item are about 22%."
However, that is not true for imports, which will increase in price.
I listened to Cavuto rerun this morning and I assume that was Boortz in another publishing house promotion that Fox is getting famous for.
In any case, the one thing that really appeals to me about the sales tax is getting the IRS out of the lives of private citizens.
The thing that worries me about it is Greenspan weighing in a few months back suggesting that we have both a sales tax and an income tax.
I guarantee you that congress will vote for that tomorrow.
They will promote it, of course, as a "transition" period. They'll be able to have a new movie, "The Never-Ending Transition."
