Fair Tax ping!
We cann'ot be havin' nun o'that donn'cha know...
"H&R Bankrupt... music to my ears..."
when a door closes, another one opens.
Im sure accountants will still be needed. Last time I knew a company with 25,000 employees still has trouble keeping there books.
Death to H&R Blockhead!
And Jackson Spewitt?
I have been living and working and praying for the day that the income tax would go away since I was a young man. No one would listen to me, no one cared, but I knew I wasn't alone, Now, finallly, we are getting people to talk about it and maybe, before I die, I will see the end of it but you had better hurry!:)
He's right. There aren't enough politicians with a set to make true tax reform happen. I've given up on the lot of 'em.
......and you totally ignore the reasons those "tens of thousands of Americans" have jobs, or what those jobs cost the rest of us.
Remind me never to hire you.
A flat 10/5/2 is.
It would however force the fed/state/local to live entirely within it's means.
No deductions, no welfare, no SS, no handouts, no sales tax, no property tax, no school tax.
Take the piglets away from the sow, she will dry up.
Think poetic justice...
If anyone would like to be added to this ping list let me know.
John Linder in the House(HR25) & Saxby Chambliss Senate(S25) offer a comprehensive bill to kill all income and SS/Medicare payroll taxes outright and replace them with with a national retail sales tax administered by the states.
H.R.25,S.25
A bill to promote freedom, fairness, and economic opportunity by repealing the income tax and other taxes, abolishing the Internal Revenue Service, and enacting a national retail sales tax to be administered primarily by the States.Refer for additional information:
The accountants and tax lawyers own the pols(lawmaking via bribery). There will be no tax reform.
There aren't enough people who are willing to stand on their representatives desks to make it happen. We will have to drag them to this....kicking and screaming. And if they don't see things our way....a few pudgy pink posteriors in the Potomac ought to gently 'persuade' the rest of them.
I prefer any type of tax over an income tax of any kind, BUT I would take a true flat tax along with an amendment of the constitution that it could never be raised or changed to the type of icome tax we have now, this would be an improvement but not ideal. Ideal would be not income tax at all, we lived until the early part of the 20th century before we brought in an income tax, income taxes were branded as evil by several of the founding fathers and with good reason. Property taxes should be the next to feel the cut of the tax knife!
For decades, so many have been watching gov't spending increase without bound...even though so many have been clamouring for it to stop and reverse itself. Why is this so?
Have you considered the idea that the method of collection has everything to do with it?
While you reject the nrst because it does not include spending cuts, you do not recognize the effect it would have on gov't spending. Would downward pressure be put on gov't spending if we merely eliminated withholding and had taxpayers pay in cash monthly like our other bills? Of course it would. If merely changing the method of collection can affect gov't spending, why not investigate changing the method of collection???
