They want you to compile and file monthly tax returns! You think the IRS takes a lot of your time -- you ain't seen nothing until you look at what the NRST people want you to do.

For God's sake.

Do you not see the difference between a complicated return under today's system compared to a simple calculation of 'sales' times 'rate'?

The bill requires two lines to be reported ... TWO LINES!!!

Read the bill so you become informed.

And here's the first 1040 tax form from 1913. Seven lines total if you didn't make more than $20,000 ($380,000 in today's terms).

No more than one page total no matter how much you made. What's to prevent the NRST from growing in complexity as well? Nothing.

Of course he does - but he has ulterior motives for sinking tax reform.

Let's note here that the returns that are done under the nrst are only by business (there are no personal/individual returns) - and the returns are nothing more than gross sales and a check for 23% of it.

Also note here that business will be paid for their efforts in reporting gross sales and remitting 23% of it - they'll earn 1/4% for their trouble - that's 1/4% more than they get now for doing horrendous, time consuming, expensive reporting (compliance which, BTW costs the US economy $250 Billion in non productive expenses).
