What other such things ? A flat tax is still an invasive, intrusive, personal income tax.
With a flat tax, Big Bro still probes your personal life (job, wages, side income, etc) and decides exactly how much $ you "deserve" to keep.
I favor the Fair Tax. The Prebate is a tool to keep the class warfare whining to a minimum, but requires Big Bro to mail a monthly prebate check to everyone's current address.
Opportunity for fraud and theft is still rampant with that, so I favor a Fair Tax (National Retail Sales Tax) under 10%, with NO prebates.
Yes I know 10% sales tax supposedly won't come close to bringing in "enough" revenue for Big Bro.
Tough. Shrink the government. Let 80 - 90% of the federal gov't be dedicated to national defense like it should be. Forget Prebates. Just let the poor pay federal tax on all their retail purchases, just like everyone else.
Maybe it would help them feel more "equal" and stop whining about their victim status.
Any Fair Tax discussion I have ever read/heard included both Prebates and continued deductions for certain “classes”. Eliminate these and I could get more behind the Fair Tax. Either the Fair or Flat Tax is better than what we have now.
