“Yes, to Flat Tax.”

Which flat tax proposal do you support?

You can vote for HR 1040, which is the only flat tax bill in the house, here:

It isn’t doing too well, as you can see.

BTW, the Republican establishment LOVES the flat tax because it doesn’t really reform the corrupt system of trading earmarks and tax preferences for campaign cash, aided and abetted by an army of lavishly paid lobbyists.

Flat tax keeps business taxes.
Flat tax keeps employee FICA taxes.
Flat tax keeps employer FICA “contribution”.
Flat tax keeps withholding.

NRST eliminates business taxes.
NRST eliminates employee FICA taxes.
NRST eliminates employer FICA “contribution”.
NRST eliminates withholding.

I bring up these items because they are subtle ways that are used to prevent the populace from knowing the true cost of government.

You want to retain the IRS, and all tax reporting and headaches, have you lost your mind? The Fair Tax eliminates the IRS. Apply some logic to that.

Flat tax is still an income tax. Fair Tax is a tax on purchases. All the difference in the world.
