Well, danged, gnu, how do you really feal about it. Firstly, I don't thing you read the part about the exemption on the necessities. That's the part that attracted my attention. So it is conceovable that a family who is now spending all their income on food, clothing and sheleter expense... would pay NO TAX at all under this plan.

And, hey, I own a business and collect tax and it's bnot a major problem. In the last 18 years of collecting and paying taxes I can only think of one mistake and it was like a $10 iscalculation. It takes me a half and hour once a month and it's done. Where's the beef here?

Do you like an 8 million word tax code that practically no one understands. Do you like rich folks being able to *consume, consume, consume* and pay slick accountants to keep from paying taxes. I don't.

This is a *end user tax*, a *consumer* tax and it's based on product other than necessities. Where is the flaw in at least the concept, my friend?

The current system certainly has become unmanageable and unfair...
