[Final Authority]

WRT 768; the problem with the farttax is that it only adds to the problem of taxation. That is, we will only get more of it. The IRS will never go away. It may be renamed however. The income tax can not go away for all of the reasons I and others have written on these taxation threads. The farttax is fantasy and I will hold that position until it sees the light of debate in Congress. If it it acted upon by Congress I will be concerned about how it will be amended, as will all of you farttaxers. I will grant you that there will be a NRST, it will only resemble the farttax in that it will be a retail tax, but it will be designed to augment the tax take and it will be easy to raise at Congress' will. Your (the Farttaxers) efforts will be used a diversion to pass the sales tax plan. Do you feel good now?

The IRS will never go away.

Yes, as long as the government collects taxes, there will be a big powerful tax collection agency.

What is it that makes you so absolutely certian of that outcome? Do you deny that the people of this country are, even today, the final authority over those who serve us in government and thus have the ability to make changes resulting in BETTER government for us all?
