Another notch in inflation's belt if I understand the concept correctly. Would you be so bold as to consider this plan as "taxation without representation"?

Yah got Congress Critters don'chya? What more could yah ask for? </sarcasm>

In short if you will notice this is the ultimate Value Added Tax, international in scope.

"A small ad valorem charge would be levied on every transaction"

A single rate Flat Tax, with no individual returns to file. So what's a little 1% tax?:

"For a tax rate of 1%, this produces the following annualised rates:

monthly (12) 27%
weekly (30) 181%
daily (220) 7,980%
"

Keep smiling, and bend over.
