Thank you once again for posting and pinging to this important information about the NRST.
I see the usual people on this thread carping and sniping, and I just want to say this: I DON'T CARE if my take home pay remains the same. I DON'T CARE if the bill isn't perfect.
I want a sales tax because of the reality of the present federal tax system. It is simply unbelievable that it even exists.
To those who say the bill is flawed, and the arithmetic wrong, SO WHAT????? It's not like it could possibly be worse than what we're living with.
That is a perfectly reasonable position, but I like the proposed system worse and I don't like the fact that the system is being peddled with lies. Sell the system on its real merits, not some fairytale.
But it's much more fun to argue over how many CPAs can dance on the head of a pin. Personally, I'd take a reduction in pay (if that's what it actually took) to get rid of the IRS.It seems some here like the IRS as much as they fear the idea change. I wonder if there were a sunset time on the Fairtax of 5 years before it reverted back to the current mess, if they'd still be as vehemently
opposed to at least giving it a try.
