No, I read what you posted. It seems to me that one giant mess would be replaced by another giant mess. If you want fair tax, just set the rates on an income scale of course and just let it be. No loop holes. No deductions or rebates. Then everyone would know what the rules were and there would be no advantage to paying a high priced accountant to find tax havens and loop holes.

So basically a flat tax? (which our mess of an income tax started as)...I do question why you write: on an income scale of course

It is the 'of course' part that bothers me. Why do we need an income scale? Why can't everyone bear an equal (in %) responsibility in this society? Atlas is gonna shrug.
