The NRST is the way to go. A flat tax is STILL an income tax. The IRS would STILL exist. The un-constitutional 16th Amendment would STILL be around.
Scrap the code, abolish the IRS!!!
“Scrap the code, abolish the IRS!!!”
Yes, that would be nice. We’re just never going to see it. Being able to reward or punish economic interests via the income tax is something that Congress is never going to give up.
I’d prefer to spend my time and effort minimizing what I pay under the current rules as they are or are likely to be rather than spending my time lobbying for a “fair tax” or other systemic reform that we’re just not going to see this side of heaven.
