It will create an unbelievable bureaucracy that will have to support the management of this tax...

The social security administration will administer...they're not new (but they are a bureaucracy!).

Another thing that worries me is that even if the income tax is not being withheld from checks anymore, SS and Medicare still will be...

Nope. SS and MC are funded via sales tax revenues. All withholding is over - kaput. Remember they'll be no IRS...

I'm glad "you're open", because you have lots to learn!

Look here for FAQs or here for general info.

I did read the links earlier and I'm getting a little more up to speed....
Of course, even if they were to decide to try to adopt a sales tax, we don't know that the details would be the same as in this plan.
We all know the devil is always in the details...

But I'm still open.... :^)
