Where'd you get that? A monkey's butt?
Taxes still have to be paid - the same in aggregate (revenue neutrality). The tax base for the nrst is larger than the income tax base - remember all the deductions and exemptions for income taxes.
Under nrst, big spenders will end up paying a (maximum) 23% marginal rate. I think you're wrong to say that's less than now. What was Tah-ray-za's rate? 2% on 50 million?
So, you're argument now is "rich people don't pay taxes"?
hah ha ha ha ha
