I would prefer a flat tax first, the Fair Tax second, and the current system a distant 100th place. The prebate still bothers me and until that’s removed, my rankings would stay the same.
If income taxes DEMAND and enforcement arm, and we are assured they do, then so long as the USA has ANY form of income tax, be it a Marxist inspired progressive one or a economist inspired flat one, the most odious manifestation of our insanity will remain in place.
The IRS MUST be abolished if we are to ever be a FRee people again!
FairTax is the only way to do that!
Please don’t let the prebate be a show-stopper for you. Cast your economit’s eye upon the legislation (H.R. 25 @ https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/house-bill/25/text; read it and think it through. I think you’ll like it.
