Really? Maybe you couldn't afford it/didn't need it in the first place. You simply hit your "marginal propensity to not buy" point.
You didn't answer as to how much it cost you to comply with the existing tax code?
Did you include your corporate income taxes and the employer portion of wage taxes as part of your cost basis?
Yeah, well you have hit your "mariginal propensity" for economic thought. I was in the Army at the time and in my twenties. At other times, I was starting my business and had to buy "retail" because I was operating out of anothers shop and starting up on a shoestring and hope. Just WHAT is YOUR entrepreneurial experience? Or have you just collected a check from your employer all your life. Have you ever gone without a salary to make your payroll? Have you ever put your employee's withholding taxes on your own personal credit card to make it through the quarter? I don't think so. I think most of you who are in favor of an NRST never worked for yourself since you were teenagers mowing lawns and there was no income tax then.

I beg your pardon! I don't have to answer these questions! These are questions I don't respond to on the Internet or outside of my accountants office. As a conservative, I am both surprised and offended that you have the nerve to ask. However, if you've the mind, you may think the worst and add some conspiracy theory in as well.
My position on a NRST is that it will be a financial disaster to the country, rich and poor, smart and dumb, attractive and ugly, old and young. Even you.
