It would bring with it more freedom, lower taxes, and more money in the pockets of all taxpayers.
Little Willie was "The Worst President In American History".
The reason I don't like the NRST is because I live near Canada where they have something similar and THEY HATE IT WITH A PASSION, and so would we.
A flat tax is easy to implement, gets rid of all the tax lawyers and accountants in one fell swoop, easy to explain to the lower half of the bell-curve (if you get my drift) and cheapest to implement.
I would not like the NRST for another reason- I would not want to replace a system we hate, with a system we will hate even more (go to Canada and see)
AND PUUUHLEEEEZE do not start on me about how OUR nrst would be so much better then the canadian version- there is NO DIFFERENCE when you go to the cash register and they add 'X' amount... NRST is ALREADY being muddled with govt-speak by introduction of terms like 'tax-inclusive' rates (which really means "we are hiding the amount of tax you pay- it is really higher than you think...")
Simple case- when you tell someone we are going to have a 10% NRST and you buy something for $100 how much will it cost? The avg person will think $110- but the actuall cost will be about $111- why? because that is the 'tax inclusive' 10%...huh...?
TRY EXPLAINING TAX-INCLUSIVE TO THE LOWER HALF OF THE BELL-CURVE????? and HOW IN THE HECK DO YOU FIGURE IT OUT IN YOUR HEAD????
