I would rather have the IRS than a Value Added Tax.
You would never know what taxes you were paying with a VAT. They would be anonymously embedded in the price you paid for a product.
At least with a national sales tax you see how much tax you are paying every time you purchase something.

If this true, and if they could make this happen, why then this would be the greatest thing since sliced bread.

So, Hastert wrote it in a book that it's a good--or essential--idea. Where does that translate into being a centerpiece of the Bush/GOP agenda? The headline is misleading, if not downright dishonest.

Makes sense to me. Libs want to be European, this is what Europe does. Think they'll get on board?

Taxing consumption. The Heinzs, Kerrys and Gores of the world may finally get to pay their "fair share".

This would be great! Would like the Fed Sales Tax. The VAT is bulky and cumbersome over in Europe.
Next would love to see about 1/2 to 3/4 of the Government done away with.

While they're at it they should do away with the waste as well.

flat tax is working well in Russia...
i hope somebody writes about studies that have been done and WHY the new system would be better. If the Republicans can do that in common sense language it'll be a sure win for 'em.

Pushing reform legislation will be difficult. Change of any sort seldom comes easy.

I fail to understand how people get excited about a 30% national sales tax on top of what will need to be a 10% state sales tax.

I'd like to see an intelligent discussion of the Fair Tax vs. the Flat Tax. Milton Friedman and Steve Forbes have been big proponents of the Flat Tax for a long time. Both ideas have merit. You won't see the Democrats discussing either one of these ideas, though. All you'll get from them is hysterical demagoguery, like "Tax breaks for the rich..."
It's about time we heard from the grown-ups.

Sounds good, but the Republicans....will let this slip through their fingers too.....
Good ideas, but short on hard ball politics.
