If anything, the tax rate (whether you figure it inclusively or exclusively, I really don’t care- it’s the same money) is simply a reflection of how we’re getting bent over by the Federal government anyway. Revenue neutral is revenue neutral. We’re already paying the rate, the FT just makes it more painful.
And taxation should be as painful as possible, for the sake of liberty.
Tax Reform without Spending Reform is a waste of time and effort, IMO.
If the FT builds greater awareness of the cost of government, that’s just another good reason to make the switch.
