Liberals LOVE the Fair Tax- Flat tax, or nothing

One of the big problems is that short of a Constitutional Amendment there'd be nothing keeping the Congress from having the flat-tax and torturing it into another progressive regulation-snarl… but, if we were to amend the Constitution, here's what I propose.

Liberals love the graduated income tax most. It has income tax withholding in place. It has taxes hidden in higher prices, lower wages, and reduced ROI. It has FICA withholding too -both employee and employer "contribution". Most importantly to liberals, it has the IRS.

The flat income tax is keeps all the same stuff. All of it. The big change? A purportedly simpler way to pay.

The nrst, however, is a liberal's nightmare. Under the nrst; no more withholding, eliminates taxes hidden in prices, wages, and ROI. NRST has no FICA "contribution" - no employee "contribution" and no employer "contribution" either. And most feared to liberals is that the income tax IRS is gone. State sales tax agencies can take over.

No, you're wrong - libs love any income tax. Any. And they will die on the hill that protects their income tax.
