Ok, then we will just keep the crappy system we have now!/sar.
I am for bringing back the tarrifs that used to support us before we stupidly bought into the income tax. I am willing to try anything, including the fair tax, as long as it is not another income tax. Flat taxes are out as far as I am concerned, it will quickly degenerate into the income tax system we have now.
I am willing to try anything, including the fair tax, as long as it is not another income tax.Anything? How about the Colon Tax? With the Colon Tax, the government taxes you on the length of your colon. Once a year, the government sends someone to your house and he shoves his arm up your rectum to see how long your colon is.
Ho, hum. This argumentative essay is far too logical to be the basis for any sort of likely reform.
But let's not make the perfect the enemy of the good. Any reasonable tax reform is better than what we have now, and what we will be getting as the AMT hits more and more people.
A flat income-tax would be good; then tax cuts, then permanent tax limits.
First, though, we must win the war. Otherwise, most of us will be paying the jizya, the special tax Islam imposes on dhimmis (non-Moslems). You will be forced to pay that asuumming that you are not simply sold into slavery, which was the big money-maker for the movement under the leadership of the false prophet himself.
Just out of curiousity, which CPA firm do you work for?

This statement is proof that the author has never listened to Boortz for any length of time.
Just out of curiousity, which CPA firm do you work for?I don't work for a CPA firm. Nice logical fallacy, though.
This statement is proof that the author has never listened to Boortz for any length of time.Why should he (or anybody else, for that matter)? I didn't have to listen to him very long to realize he's a loudmouth buffoon.
I'm just mainly curious which horse is yours in this race. On the fair tax, I've not done enough research to be for, or against, but it's your main occupation at FR, and I'm just curious how the fair tax will harm your interests.
He hit most of the key points, although I could add several more problems of the fairytax. Probably the best article against the fairytax I've seen outside of threads on this forum.
Move tax day to the vicinity of election day, say the first week in October, a month before voting.
As I have repeatedly stated, NO tax reform will ever work until the excess spending of government is gotten under control.
Want to cut the deficit? Stop all the excessive spending across the board. Pork barrel projects need to be the first.
As long as either party has endless supplies of our money, they will just keep taking and throwing it away as they see fit.

It would also take this country further down the road toward socialism by putting every citizen on the government dole.
Now that you're done trashing the Fair Tax, what's your proposal?
Now that you're done trashing the Fair Tax, what's your proposal?The Flat Tax. (And I'm not done trashing the FairTax.)
