Of course, I wonder why YOU want to keep the IRS in place...
You said that, not me. Why does it always have to be about me?
Is the fairtax the only alternative?...Some people on the Presidents commission don't think so.
I see you have problems calculating percentages.
Is the fairtax the only alternative?...Some people on the Presidents commission don't think so.
The Fairtax is the only viable alternative. A Flat Tax (which the Federal Income Tax was originally) would allow the IRS to continue existing. A Value Added Tax (VAT) would be worse than an Income Tax because it taxes products and people at EVERY stage of a products production. A VAT is a worse 'hidden' tax than Income Tax.
That leaves the Nation Retail Sales Tax (Fairtax) as the only workable option left on the table.
Now, you are just upset that I pointed out taxanalyists conflict of interest on this issue.
No, but it is the only one that makes taxation voluntary, which is the only method that is truly "fair" and proper and intended by the Founders. People stealing my money, no matter who it is, is evil and wrong.
"Is the fairtax the only alternative?...Some people on the Presidents commission don't think so."
No, it is just the most thoroughly researched and politically viable of the options. The President's Commission has been tasked with evaluating all the options. As Treasury Secretary Snow said back in March (when YN was saying that the sales tax was no longer under consideration), all options are on the table. As a FairTax supporter, I think that is healthy. We need a public debate and this will further that.
It is pretty clear that the Fairtax has moved into the lead during this process. That is why so many of the status quo groups have attacked it. It is by far the biggest threat to the status quo apple cart. Of course, that is also why you have been attacking it for the past few years, isn't it?
