some statistics about that.
\_ One reason you can't do a state-by-state "test" shift to another
tax system is it would encourage too many people and corps to mess
around with where they reported their incomes vs. their costs and
current tax loop holes so you'd create an even bigger mess. I don't
know if the FT is good for the country or not but I don't think you
can gradually shift to something that requires dramatic changes
across the board to see the expected/desired results.
\_ Btw, you don't always need to do a 'test' to figure out the
result. -- ilyas
\_ Ilyas, I still think in my gut that the middle class
is going to get screwed by the so-called Fair Tax, but
the counter-arguments to my objections are enough to
make me unsure that the middle-class screwing will
actually occur. That said, I'd like more than a vague
feeling of fear, uncertainty, and doubt as an argument
against a specific proposal to clean up the mess that
is our tax system. A 'test' isn't the only way to know,
but doing a test will certainly make trying the new
system a lot more palatable to everyone. --PeterM
\_ Thanks for being honest.
\_ I just meant "read my thesis." -- ilyas |
