All I have seen is the Mastromarco infor provided. The NRST has not gone through any level markup in committee or challenge to require further analysis.

As far as revenue neutrality is concerned, the ultimate say is analysis of CBO which will come when request by House Ways and Means. That is the only analysis that will mean anything as regards the legal requirement for such.

You must realize HR2525 is not a highly funded project, it is a grassroots effort being done on a very tight budget from person contributions and individual support. Most of the economic and statistical work was done back in 1997 with the writing of the bill for introduction into the House. This is not some party effort, it received its initial kick off from a group of small businessmen from Huston.

I have just gone to a quick look at the actual language of the proposed bill, itself, and I saw nothing that seemed to provide for the taxing of federal government "consumption" or "capital expenditures" as was included by Mastromarco and Burton. I did see provisions for taxing state government consumption but not capital spending. Am I correct that the actual bill does not include taxing these areas?
