After all, you're the one trying to sell this proposal to the rest of us
Not selling a thing, its free info for anyone to look into if they are interested in tax reform.
so it's up to you to highlight the features that would make us want to accept it
First of all, I am not interested in making anyone want to accept. They are either ready for tax reform or not, I merely offer a system that I believe to be a better answer than the current ways of doing things, and that has been proposed to Congress providing some measure of hope that with support could be successfully implemented.
I provide hyperlinks to legislation and sites containing information about the NRST for a purpose. I expect that others will take the effort to read and learn about it.
Detailed and broad discussions have been going on for years on the topic of the NRST some of which are referenced within this thread.
I can lead a horse to water, however it is up to the horse to drink it.
For other discussions across the years on FR about tax reform and comment on the NRST both pro and con, have at it everything you never wanted to really know about tax reform:
