I like the idea of the funds getting filtered through the states' coffers first. I'm just not sold on the whole mess getting the full overhaul, specially since there's that need for massive reeducation, that I mentioned in a previous post.

Anyway, just by changing the way funds are sent to the Fed, even if you're leaving the rest of the income tax codes we have now, some important dynamics could change.

Once the states have their hands on that money, they will begin to plot & plan ways to keep more & start talking about "block granting" funds to the Federal government. Let the Fed's apply for the funds, filling out lengthy forms about why they need the funds. What, you wanna put a big dig in some other state?

Reeducation is happening now, just the effort of explaining how a retail sales tax would work on a national level and explaining how the benefits associated with a conversion to a consumption only tax system accomplishes that.

In order to get from where we are to actual enactment and implementation that effort has to go forward. The massive reeducation either takes and the result is the enactment of the legislation proposed,

H.R.25,S.25
A bill to promote freedom, fairness, and economic opportunity by repealing the income tax and other taxes, abolishing the Internal Revenue Service, and enacting a national retail sales tax to be administered primarily by the States.

or the reeducation fails and the bill is withdrawn if attempts are made to amend it in ways counter to the essential intent of the legislation as it is currently proposed.

HR25 has been created from scatch in the private sector it is not the product of politicos in back rooms, support for it is contingent upon the express objectives laid out in the language of the bill as it now exists being met.
