Since you are probably either a CPA or have something to do with taxes, I'd like to ask you a question: How will CPA's and tax accountants be affected under an NRST?
With the extra millions that businesses will have to invest after the elimination of the payroll tax, will CPA's keep the current workload or maybe even see a increase in business?
Absent the tax code, accountants and the like would see a major increase in business and a major decrease in stress!
Think of it this way: Accountants are trained to help their clients grow their wealth. The most significant impediment to growing wealth in the US today is the income tax and the IRS.
Eliminate both, and our accountant FRiends would be happier (no fear of jail time if they misplace a "." or a "," or miscross a "T." They would be wealthier -- they will make a lot more money for their clients when the IRS is dissolved and the economy blossoms. And they will have a better home life -- no "last minute push" for tax return completions between January and April 15.
