thats why I really like the Fair Tax act
http://www.fairtax.org
it removes federal withholding and replaces it with a federal sales tax
which means no more IRS, no more forms to file
employers wouldnt have to withhold anything
and this way all the illegals would have to pay federal taxes
every one of them would pay their fair share of taxes |
The idea sounds good and while I don't disagree with it I'm concerned in how it will effect the country.
1. It encourages savings and now that we are a service oriented country if people start saving instead of spending our economy dies. We no long manufacture anything of value.
2. What happens when I start buying things from other countries? If I were to take all my profits from investments and simply buy things from over seas. I don't buy a vacation home in the USA. Instead I buy one in Canada or Mexico.
3. When I buy things in Canada (they have a VAT) I can always not pay the VAT by using cash
Maybe these things are easily addressed by minds that have more knowledge on this issue then mine.
