Well, biLL, there is one big ol' major problem with yer national sales tax... What happens to folks living on fixed incomes???

The next major problem is that what it would do is create a massive untaxable black market and alot of borderline tax evasive bartering...

Now when we look at Huckabee's idea of writing checks back to those folks who have lesser incomes to help them pay the new flat tax you're going to create a system that is unamageable...

Yeah, where these tax schemes that the rich regularially float as being "revoltionary" are looked at from all angles, these ideas just don't work in the real world...

Yeah, I can see at least some possibilities in what Amos has offered up but I'd really have top see how mush revenue it would actually provide and who would be paying what share... Plus, even Amos's plan is going to create the black markets and the bartering which will take money out of the US Treasury...
