Federal bureaucrats. New rules. New enforcement. Feel that chill down your spine yet?
State administration of the NRST, not federal, infact the change to most states allow for a simpler system than already exists.
States collect and enforce the NRST passing collection on to the United States Treasury.
H.R.25
SPONSOR: Rep Linder, John (introduced 01/7/2003)
A bill to promote freedom, fairness, and economic opportunity by repealing the income tax and other taxes, abolishing the Internal Revenue Service, and enacting a national retail sales tax to be administered primarily by the States.
Refer: http://www.fairtax.org & http://www.salestax.org
How is this going to make my life better?
The individual family is relieved of liability for report or remitting the tax, that is the province of the retail business, just as it is today for retail sales tax currently in existence. The Feds are no longer in the personal business of the family.
but why should I believe that it will actually produce what it is supposed to produce?
Simply put ,the bill will do as it says, Read it. Don't support the bill and work for its enactment nothing will be produced. Support it, and it becomes the tax law. Nothing more, nothing less.
But then you can not believe and continue to live under the Devil that is and the federal intrusiveness that goes with it.
We must . . . End Tax Slavery Now; Nov '97

HOW MUCH DO YOU REALLY PAY?
According to the Tax Foundation, in 1994 the average American paid 22.4% of his or her income in federal taxes, plus 11.8% in state and local taxes - 34.2% total.
But that's just the beginning! Dr. James Payne of the University of California found that in addition to direct taxes we also pay huge, hidden taxes including:
- Compliance costs - record keeping, monies spent on tax planning, computers and software purchased to fulfill IRS requirements, etc.
- Enforcement costs - IRS audits, field investigations, service center corrections, criminal investigations, litigation, and forced collections.
- Emotional, moral and cultural costs - families forced onto welfare, time and creative energy lost figuring out how to avoid taxes, etc.
For every $1 we pay in direct taxes, we spend an additional $0.65 in compliance costs. And even that figure doesn't include the cost of import duties, license fees and other government regulations. For a typical U.S. family, the real cost of taxes and regulations is at least:
Federal taxes 22.4% of income
State & local taxes 11.8%
Compliance costs 22.2%
Regulatory costs 12.7%70.1% of your income is now consumed by government
