“You have no idea what my preferred form of taxation is. Just because I don’t think THE FT is nirvana and don’t want to be a member of your cult doesn’t even mean I don’t think consumption taxes have their advantages. Please, get a grip.”
Your actions speak louder than your words and much, much more eloquently that your (unexpressed) thoughts. You have been highly critical of the FT and its supporters on this thread, yet I have not heard a word of concern about the current system which is dysfunctional in many, many respects. If you have a better tax reform proposal, please direct us to where its particulars are. Please also direct us to where you have expended as much energy explaining the benefits to others as you have nitpicking the FT.
If you can’t do either, then you are like many of the SQLs here on Free Republic, fighting vainly for a failing system. You are either disengenuous or not aware of the import of your actions.
Your actions speak so loudly that I can’t hear a word that you are saying.
As previously noted, as the tax rate approaches zero, the details and even major conceptual differences among the types matter less and less.
