I'd absolutely cherish seeing lewislynn, Your Nightmare and RobFromGa go head to head against ancient-geezer, Principled and phil_will1 in a live, in-the-flesh debate before a man-in-the-street audience.Let's make the crowd all economists. They wouldn't stop laughing at y'all's nonsense.
An audience of economists would be great. Let's throw in a couple hundred CEO's and CFOs from Global corporations.
75 economists endorsed the FairTax. And this...
Rep. Bill Archer, Chairman, House Ways and Means Committee:
"A recent survey was done, in Europe and Japan, of the major corporations and I was astounded at the results. They were asked, 'If the US abolished its income tax and went to a sales tax, would that have any impact on your decisions?' Eighty percent of the corporations said they would build their factories in the United States of America. Twenty percent said they would move their international headquarters to the United States of America."
There exists tax competition among governments. It's not a matter of if consumption-based sales tax will gain dominance the world over, but when, and which country will lead the charge and which countries will play catch up.
The United States must take the lead.
That's the short list. For more information see fairtax.org or search: "national sales tax" OR "national retail sales tax"
"Let's make the crowd all economists. They wouldn't stop laughing at y'all's nonsense."
Let's find some SQLs with the cojones to defend this wretched tax system in a public forum. Now that would be a coup!!
Who is it you claim is trying to marginalize opponents???
