I've read the book and it's a very interesting idea. A retail sales tax (23% inclusive, or 30% exclusive, I think that's right) to replace the IRS, payroll, Social Security, Medicare, and many other taxes. And it's revenue neutral, designed to fund the government as is. Meaning that if someone could finally drastically slash spending (neither Dems or Repubs are interested in doing that,) the sales tax could be lowered as well.
At the very least it would be a whole lot simpler. Edited by: JD074
