I don't want Europe's V.A.T.!
I'd rather have a flat tax. Years ago Forbes pushed it and it made sense.
I am for getting rid of the Gestapo, er I.R.S..
A flat tax does not eliminate the IRS or need for accounting...you still have to keep records, pay accountants, file forms etc. all an unnecessary drain on the economy (unless you are an accountant) - a National Sales tax makes the best sense - it gets rid of the underground economy - stops the need to file forms, keep records and tell the government under penalty of imprisonment how much income you make. Let's hope they can pull it off.
"I'd rather have a flat tax."
"I am for getting rid of the Gestapo, er I.R.S.."
These two are mutually exclusive. Which would you prefer?
