You've managed to go a long way to avoid admitting the facts...

"Any Government" wages are subject to a your phony sales tax, the 23% lie is only a teaser rate for the first year, then faceless, blameless, unaccountable, unelected Social Security bureaucrats will "determine" the sales gross payment tax rates..."Congress critters" (a rather childish term for an old war horse to use, don't you think?) would be unaffected by any increase in rates imposed by bureaucrats.

Those are the facts. All your spam, your links to what Democrats want to do, your shoot the messenger attempts, childish terms, and other meaningless nonsense directed at me as a distraction from the facts is moot.

Those are the facts.

Just the kind of "facts" Demoncrap numbers are based on Lewislynn. I'm surprised you haven't thrown this out in your attempts to demogogue the NRST:

"Don't Buy the Sales Tax" Policy Brief # 31, 1998,
by William G. Gale, the Brookings Institution.

 

It gives you a total 76% revenue neutral NRST rate to beat your breast over. Gale & Brookings after all are favorite sources used by Demograts to rationalize their speculations. You should use it to. Afterall any ole number good enough for one set of demogogues should be good enough for others.

Of course Gale recommends VATs and "Flat" taxes to achieve a revenue neutral replacement for the current system. Unfortunately he forgets to tell us all revenue neutral tax systems still have to come up with sufficient revenues to fund the government at the same size as now, @23.5%(taxfoundation) of gross family income.

The real question becomes where do they hide a 76%(60% in your belief) total revenue neutral tax rate when telling us we need only pay a "17%" revenue neutral rate in a flat tax, to achieve the same result as the 23.5% current income/payroll tax system.
