Yeah, whoda thunk the Russian Federated Republic would be the great testing ground for Malcolm Forbes' exact tax prescription?

I firmly believe that there will soon be the greatest wave of unprecedented prosperity in that long suffering nation, since the short lived free economic reforms of the New Economic Plan of the early 1920's.

Too bad the DNC and the U.S. media will obviously do everything in their power to hide all this from the American people. Probably say it shows the resiliance of communism!

Well, you all didn't do anything. 13% flat tax was the standard under the Tsar, who had progressive tax reforms. The Soviet system was imported first into Russia by Western Intellectuals who cause the revolution and once the nuts and bolts were worked out it was brought back home to W. Europe and America.

Maybe with a few more changes, the tens of billions of dollars that have been taken out of Russia will be reinvested so that Russia can give the IMF and the WB the finger.
