Under the current system compliance costs are estimated anywhere form 250 billion annually to 400 billion annually. Would you consider this an unproductive expenditure best spent somewhere else in the Economy?This is a logical fallacy. You ask a question about an assertion as if it's true. I doubt the validity of your assertion. We do not expend $250-400 billion complying with the current system.
What might your alternative tax system be??The Flat Tax. It's a consumption tax without the critical problems of the FairTax.
Fair enough;
Will the Flat tax reduce compliance costs if so how much??
Will Your version of the Flat Tax stil keep the most Regressive tax of all the payroll Tax???
What is the Rate of your Flat Tax on individual Income?
On Corporate Income??
On Investment Income, Capital Gains Income, and Retirement Income??
What write offs or exemptions do you keep and what do you do away with??
IS there a flat exemption of $xx,000 dollars ?
Is their a deduction for local taxes or mortgage interest in your tax plan?? What is the affect on the Housing market? Do you have a study on that or just an intuitive answer - either is fine.
How does your Flat Tax affect the Senior with Savings Pre or Post tax Savings??
How does your Flat Tax encourage Economic growth and American Manufacturing?
You see I like a Flat Tax too. I just like it on Consumption at the Retail Level. Flat Income Tax is my number 2 choice but I don't believe it has the same Econoimc potential as the Fair Tax.
We may agree to disagree, but I would like to hear your answers if you have time?
Plz allow me to interpret Nightie's "stuff" to same you time.
He LOVES to use the term "logical fallacy" BTW which is a "superflous redundancy" (and he doubtless doesn't even know what it means) and when he says Flat Tax he really means Nightmare Tax which is an esoteric tax concept known only to him (so he can make any sort of claim he wishes vis-a-vis the FairTax).
He's a slippery one but not as good at the Out-Of_context quotation game as Looey (though as you've seen; he tries).
"The Flat Tax. It's a consumption tax without the critical problems of the FairTax."
And which addresses few of this country's economic problems which are tax system related. The "critical problems" are only in the eyes of SQLs.
