This is pretty typical, throw out the whole idea because people might
find a way to cheat the system.
That wasn't the point at all Vern. My point was that if you think that
changing to a flat national sales tax will allow you to toss out the IRS,
you should be ready to have another vast agency take its place.
When a car is bought by an individual I know for a fact that there are
many times the actual purchase price is fubbed. I have done it myself.
Which is exactly why I know to expect people to try to cheat the system
and why I'm sure we will have agencies studying our transactions to be
sure we aren't engaging in tax fraud.
I personally support a flat tax. That is a straight flat tax across the
board of whatever the percentage is. How does that hurt anyone more than
anyone else?
If it's so friggin' great, Vern, then why does a professor of econ at U
Michigan claim that *no* respectable economist will support the plan? Do
you really think that they need a lesson from you?
Listen, I don't claim to know what is best, but I definitely get the
feeling that I'm being hoodwinked by this Fair Tax idea.
