Or is Neal just piggybacking on Steve’s idea to sell copies of a book? Steve’s was 17% instead of 23 :) " The FairTax HR25 and S1025 replaces the current marxist income tax and abolishes the IRS! Forbes flat tax retains both and has no means to prevent escalation of the marxist income tax back into the multi-level, loopholed crazed mess that it has become currently! That is a fundamental difference from Forbes flat tax. Again, failure to recognize the difference certainly begins to demonstrate one did not know that or chose to ignore it! Suggested resources are Neal Boortz’/John Linder’s FairTax Book or perusal of www.FairTax.org. Your comment: “1) How is the Boortz plan different from the Forbes one?

States aren’t going to roll over and adopt this just because the fed said so, so I’m still stuck with the current system in one way (filing taxes once a year). Arguably worse, filling out my NC taxes was relatively simple since most of the data could transfer from federal information, but I lose that optimization when the federal taxes are gone." The FairTax HR25 and S1025 replaces the current marxist income tax as the source of revenue for the federal government. The FairTax does not require any state in any way to drop any of their sources of revenue be that source a version of the marxist income tax or any other tax. The involvement of the states in the FairTax plan is that the FairTax will be administered and collected by states who choose to do so and they may keep .025% of the tax collected. Again, to fail to understand and recognize it is the federal marxist income tax that is replaced by the FairTax is either that one did not know (ignorance) or has chose to ignore.

Since they’re stuck paying the same sales tax, to be fair they should be getting out of the income tax burden as well. Of course, then multi-national companies become that much more motivated to buy their resources/supplies/etc from non-US sources. Companies become much more motivated to try and avoid charging the sales tax, but that’s pretty clear." Under the FairTax HR25 and S1025, companies, businesses are not taxed! Only retail goods and services are subject to the FairTax. Only new goods are taxed, used goods have already been taxed at least once and that is an idea behind the FairTax, goods should and will be taxed only one time. Simple, and transparent! Quite different from the current marxist income tax! Quite different from the VAT! To fail to understand and recognize that businesses are not taxed shows a certain ignorance. Either you didn't know or have chosen to ignore. Either way, we will now know you have been informed. Further suggestion is to read Neal's FairTax Book or peruse the www.FairTax.org site!
