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?
I should also have warned you that personal insults are the SQLSquad's stock in trade.
You might also ask about:
- how does it eliminate withholding taxes (I realize you did, I'm just throwing in a superfluous redundancy for Nightie to bitch about).
- how does it fund S/S & M/C.
- how does it offer border-adjustability of taxation.
- how does it retrieve additional tax revenue from the illegal econony.
- how does it keep from warping right back into the same sort of exception-ridden, favor-buying system that we now have.
- how does it simplify all aspects of tax reporting so that the taxpayer has no (as in zero) obligation to the taxing authority in submitting data to them or being hammered by them.
- how does it offer the taxpayer the precept of being innocent until proven guilty unlike the present system or any income based system.
- how does it lower prices.
- how does it lower consumption costs to the level of the FairTax.
- how does it eliminate the unfunded mandates in reporting to taxing authorities as does the FairTax.
Nightie'll probably call you some unfavorable things, but just consider that an honor. Maybe you can throw some of these things (and others) into later posts.
