Just a thought--when you tax something, you get less of it.

So eliminating income tax, but taxing goods at retail, would increase employment, and also move us further to a services based economy...

Hmmm...

Read the information at the link I posted and then get back to me.

It's true that when you tax a form of income then people will shift their income to another form if at all possible. It is also true that if you tax consumption of a certain kind (final retail) you'll get less of it. But it is also true that sooner or later Americans will run out of used stuff and and sooner or later Americans will revert to their old habits of wanting to be the first on their block to HAVE ONE.

BTW, the fair tax taxes services.
