A flat tax makes good sense to me.
What do you think of my proposal in Post #9 above?
The Fairtax has some merit. But some changes would have to be made. Three exemptions are required: housing, medical and religous. And, enforcement would require maintaining the IRS. (NO, the states will not enforce it.) And, an infrastructure will have to be developed for those states that don’t have a sales tax.
By the way, my son, a former state tax auditor, said that auditing of sales is much more difficult than auditing income.
