One little historic problem - every country on the planet that has started with an "NRST" has had it turned onto a VAT in just a matter of a few short years.

FTL's just can't get their head around the fact that "all the slow rabbits have already been caught"

I agree, but if almost 50% of filers pay no federal taxes, and many of the rest don’t “see” the taxes they pay because of witholding, then they need an education that only a shock every time they open their wallet will provide.

Add to that a supermajority in Congress (wishful thinking here) to change/increase taxes, and I’d be happier.
