wholesale = $50
compliance costs = - $23
FairTax = $23
sales and other taxes = $27

Unless they changed the rules of math by
Congressionl decree
that's
$123.

You can refer to my math, in return I will refer to
your
readi
ng
comprehension. *Was there something about "- $23"
(read minu

$23)
that you didn't get? *I guess the example wasn't

Didn't see any minuses in there. You think compliance
costs
are just
goin

Yes I do. *As do the economists that examined the plan

Exactly my point.

But you are perfectly fine with maintaining a system that
currently falls well short of funding the federal government?

Given the tax and spend attitude, NO amount of taxation will
feed the
bea
st.
Even under Clinton will tax increases and a massive increase in
revenue
d
ue
to a booming economy, the federal government still managed to
invent
new
and
wonderful ways to spend absolutely everything it got and still
needed to borrow even more.

The problem is a lack of control on spending, not on the level
of
taxatio
n.

Exactly. That's why something like the FT is revenue neutral.
It's a mechanism to maintain current levels of tax revenue.
Controlling spending is a completely different issue.


And it's pointless going through the exercise of changing the
collection method if spending doesn't change.


While true, as he pointed out, that is a different issue.


And while it is a different issue, it is arguably the more important
one.


Yep, but both need to be addressed. One cannot simply wave a magic
wand and have all the perceived ills magically disappear.


Er, um, mumble, no I won't say it.

OK, how about if we beat the politicians with it rather than wave it?


That'd work and if he or she didn't pay attention, there is always
November.
