To: longtermmemmory; Proud2BeRight; Paladin2
Newsflash even with a flat tax system you would still need the same people to manage the flow of money
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Obviously!

The question is would the collection costs be more or less under the Fair Tax ?

What is the cost in the number of pennies per dollar collected under our current system? ( private costs and government costs)

What would be the cost in the number of pennies per dollar under a Fair Tax system? ( private costs and government costs)

By the way,,,I have the same question for you that I have for Proud2BeRight and Paladin2:

Do you, longtermmemmory, Proud2BeRight, and Paladin2 benefit directly or indirectly from the ***business and occupation**** of IRS collection, IRS management, IRS law advice, or IRS tax preparation, or any other form of handling and managing IRS taxes?

Under the current IRS system there are ARMIES of accountants, lawyers, payroll tax firms, tax prep services, and whole departments of some large industries are dedicated to managing IRS taxes. EVERYONE of these people would have their livelihoods threatened by a Fair Tax.

I already said “no”. The only IRS preparation I do is my wife and my joint return.
