“It’s time for a flat tax or NRST!”

I would agree that a flat-tax is overdue. The problem is that the ability to reward and penalize via the tax code is not a power Congress is going to give up. The best you can do for now is to plan your own finances accordingly.

You are right on the money (pun intended)!

Neither will the American public readily allow politicians to change a tax system they hate but have grown accustomed to. And too, many Americans are just leary of playing "tax system musical chairs" when they already have a chair and politicians are the disc jockeys.

A flat tax is still an income tax, it still requires you to pay lawyers and accountants to file taxes, and it empowers the IRS.

The only real answer is a Fair Tax that does away with the IRS. Only until the IRS is eliminated, tax accountants, tax lawyers, and the whole ilk will Americans have a chance to regain their prosperity.

"...a flat-tax is overdue."

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!!!
