Boooo
Fair tax is not good.
FLAT TAX is equitable.
****************************************
The income tax was originally a “flat tax” and it’s pretty “flat” now with only 3 rates ... How’s that working for you? Continuing the Income tax is a losing bet ...
The “Fair Tax” is equitable and cannot be gamed easily by the Pols.
The original income tax proposal (1909?) was a flat tax only on corporations.
No matter what form of taxation you put in place will be tinkered with by bureaucrats and politicians. The goal of reform is to limit the damage they will do to freedom by their tinkering.
The real danger of direct taxation of income is the utter invasiveness of it essentially requiring the IRS (unelected and unaccountable) to keep and maintain a dossier on every American citizen and then require that citizen to update the information in it annually. I believe this to be in direct violation of the fourth, fifth, tenth, and possibly the thirteenth amendments.
I would favor a “fair tax” sales tax, or other indirect taxes as long as it would require a 3/4 majority to change the structure in any way. I would also like something in there that would state that congress would be limited in what they could spent to a percentage of GDP.
I also think that we should do a thorough audit of the IRS and any infringement of constitutional rights or criminal laws by their minions would be prosecuted fully and without the insulation given them by being a member of a government agency.
I also want a pony.
