National Retail Sales Tax proposal gains momentum for real tax reform Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

REPPED: If there's one thing to like about the Republicans, it's the fact that they support tax reform. In theory, at least. The party hasn't produced any meaningful tax reform in decades, but now there's talk of a revolutionary overhaul that could end taxes on the poor, eliminate the IRS, and greatly simplify taxes for all Americans. It would free up billions of dollars in productivity that are now wasted on filling out tax paperwork, crunching numbers, and arguing with the IRS over how much you already deposited on what date and for what purpose.

But if it manages to pass meaningful tax reform, that would at least be one positive thing the administration will have accomplished. It's foolish to automatically disagree with everything the Republicans propose. Smart Americans evaluate each proposal, regardless of which party sponsored it. Sadly, though, I think many well-meaning Democrats are against this tax reform simply because the Republicans are behind it. And that's a bad reason to oppose a good idea. It's time to stop taxing poor people and start making the wealthy consumers in society pay for their lavish lifestyles.

The Democrats, for some reason, don't like the national retail sales tax.

It's time to stop taxing poor people and start making the wealthy consumers in society pay for their lavish lifestyles. The Fair Tax or National Retail Sales Tax is the way to make that happen. The political party that thought of it first doesn't really matter.

We are assured, however, that these manipulators are just businessmen. They are not politically motivated for, otherwise, they would run for office or would accept appointments to important public posts. If they have any political ideology at all, undoubtedly, they must oppose socialism because, see, they are rich capitalists! They may be guilty of greed and a little graft, but nothing more serious than that. Let us hope that the memory of Auschwitz and Buchenwald will dispel such nonsense while there still is time.
