To: Enough is ENOUGH

Every proposal I've dealt with has an upside and a downside. Change involves a degree of risk. I want to know what the downside or risk is. Anyone who has done considerable research on a subject is exposed to the downside arguements as well as the upside. Both are necessary for me so I can formulate my own opinion.

Enough, one of the goals in creating the NRST was to eliminate as much as possible downsides with respect to the citizen as opposed to government. The only real downside to the citizen I have been able to establish is the fact you end up paying a federal tax at all. There really are very few other downsides to the Linder NRST and such are more apparent and technical hairsplitting than real.

If you insist of finding a real downside you are welcome to do so. Mash here >> [H.R.25]. I've found only the one of any substance, and that is paying the taxes, which is true with any system.

Thanks for all of the reading material. Wish I could spend time on it right away but will have to put it on the backburner for some time to come.

What I'm after is a list of comments about NRST from all sides ie., professionals, business leaders, tax experts, politicians on both sides, stock market analysts, etc. Response from politicians will give an indicator of what type of ammendments they will want to add to the bill if the movement gains momentum.

The more discussion you can drum up about this (both pro and con) the better informed we will all be.
