Just invade...then it won’t be able to be such a pesky tax haven anymore.../sarc
One of the big reasons why leftists vilify Reagan and Thatcher.
And the United States has a bill before congress that eliminates the income tax completely and creates a national sales tax. It would make the US the strongest tax haven in the world.
With the Fair Tax, the US would attract rivers of international investment capital. It would drive down interest rates, support the dollar and send the stock market soaring. Everyone, with the exception of democrat pols and their imagined victims wins.
BTTT
I have been on many tax threads and anti FairTaxers make themselves heard loud and clear about all the "pitfalls" of a national retail sales tax. Sure there are pitfalls. But where are the tax reform ideas?
The only one that I know of that has gotten any traction with politicians and voters is the FairTax. If someone has a better idea they sure haven't done anything about it.
Thanks for helping to promote the Flat Tax.
The FairTax is a truly American innovation far superior to any of the various flat-income-tax schemes that are in turn superior to their graduated income tax cousins.
Americans need not follow others in their flat-income-tax success, they have a better system that is much closer to the original ideas of its founders, the FairTax.
Got proof?
Hard numbers?
oh... wait...
Tell me how we ever get to a flat tax and stay there without a constitutional amendment prohibiting tax incentives and tax penalties.
“Perhaps most amazing, there is now a flat-tax revolution sweeping the globe.”
He must mean the part of the globe outside of North America because “the flat tax” (as if that term denoted a single proposal) sure isn’t sweeping the US. Politically, it’s on life support. If the flat taxers really wanted to get their proposal some traction, the first step would probably be to get the leaders like Dan Mitchell, Dick Armey and Steve Forbes together and let them determine the design of a specific plan that they could all get behind. And that proposal would not be a flat tax option, which I believe is what Mr. Forbes advocates.
Well you certainly don't do anything to promote it. It would be a hell of a lot better than your current income tax scheme.
Do you favor a flat tax or a tariff?
Oh, what's the use. You already spent your wad on estate planning and, if the income tax disappeared tomorrow, you would have wasted your money. You have a vested interest in keeping the income tax so, never mind.
You really love to live in the world of wild speculation, don’t you.
People go with what works... that is unless your “fairtax people”
Speculation? It was you, Mr. Dromedary, who made the outlandish claim that you (and your lawyers) engineered the largest tax free generational transfer of wealth in history. (At least that's what the lawyers told you as they handed you the bill).
In order to do that one must spend a substantial amount of money on design and trusts and so forth. It ain't cheap. Therefore you have a vested interest in keeping the income tax as it exists.
That's why you have never answered this question that I have asked you numerous times:
Do you favor maintaining the income tax and the IRS as they currently exist?
All: He's never answered that question although he comes on these threads as disruptor endlessly.
You still feel the need to trade on personal information and denigrate others to feel better about yourself, when indeed you could learn something?
How’s your “best buds” TGA20 and b_babe doing? You keeping in touch?
Only an income tax preservationist could call returning someone's tax payment welfare and ignore the Marxist origins of the income tax.
You still feel the need to trade on personal information and denigrate others to feel better about yourself, when indeed you could learn something?
I have never traded in personal information and you know it. You, OTOH have attacked me and my profession and my clients in a very personal and base manner. You should have been banned from Free Republic.
Hows your best buds TGA20 and b_babe doing? You keeping in touch?
No.
It speaks volumes that you have ignored the substance of my previous post. Instead you make personal attacks. Typical, and not at all surprising.
You attempt to denigrate everyone you disagree with as many, many would attest.
Worst of all, you attempt (unsuccessfully) to turn it around, acting all innocent, when everyone can see your version of “the emperor’s new clothes”
And when you post something with substance, naaah... not gonna happen.
