Well, at least about the FairTax. ;)

His site dedicated to it is becoming a rather impressive comparison of FairTax and our current income tax. He's got me convinced. Just read it. It's the best suggestion I've seen for revamping our current system: tax consumption, not production; make taxes equal for everyone from top to bottom; eliminate loopholes for those who can afford tax lawyers to find them; have an actual progressive tax for the poor. Excellent stuff.



And his HTML foo is to be feared. I shudder to think about the coding that took.

The coding was crazy.

Two weeks, near non stop, for that thing, ignoring all. Food, sleep, companionship, the love of a good woman....he is indeed a mighty force to be reckoned with, when it comes to the taxes.

Wow, I totally Agree

And totally disagree.

You see, the mathematician in me and the one that wants a fair and just tax code are so with you guys. So completely and totally with you guys. The concept of paying for loopholes in the tax code, the fact that those with enough money put it in places that means the pretty much never pay tax. This is all so unfair and unjust that it makes me sick to my stomache.....

But the retailer, the one that would responsible for collecting this tax, and most importantly the one that would be selling goods under this tax knows it would kill those of us in the luxury goods market. When the sales tax goes up, sales go down, at least for a time. Yes, they'd come up eventually, but often not to the level they started at. Oh, and let's not for get the amount of money and time (which is also money) that I spend now tracking, collecting, and paying the sales tax I do collect. For every dollar of sales tax I collect now, I spend at least 10 cents paying for that in some way. Just that cost alone would put me out of business, not to mention the cost of a pound of english breakfast would go from 16 to 20 though no fault of my own. And they can order it from England for 18......
