Run NoScript with Firefox and you won't see any of that pesky Big Brother stuff.

So if in the UK they do not have tax returns or tax payments then the tax system must be much simpler than in most countries and the tax cannot be progressive. |

Sure, it's a complicated system. But we're a complicated country. |

I could explain - but it would take an age - so here's a link to the experts ..

If they need more money under the FairTax plan, they have to raise the rate, but that would be quite visible to the public (very few are so out of it that they don't notice their prices at the register jumping) so it would have an automatic pressure to lower it again. That's the idea, anyway. The explanation on their site is, of course, much more detailed. |

I think most people that say the Fair Tax isn't fair haven't spent the time reading about it, understanding it and reading the FAQs. Every problem I could think about it was clearly explained with sensible information rather than hyperbole. I only have 1 question that the site didn't answer. BOb |

I don't think it's necessarily perfect, but it's several big, giant steps in the right direction.
Out of curiosity, what was that one question? |

That's a good question. And I can certainly see that they haven't answered it.
I suppose if you only sold used consulting .... |

I'm thinking I'd have to start doing psychanalysis again, rather than CBT, since the Freudian shibbit is all so used...
