Yeah, been there; read that. Sounds great, for people who spend < 60% of their income--you only get taxed on 60% of your income. Those of us who spend closer to 100%, or even more than that with credit, are screwed. Ok, so if they're spending more via credit, they're doing it to themselves. But for me, living paycheck to paycheck barely getting by, unable to save any of my monthly income, I'd actually pay significantly more in taxes that way that the current system. Doesn't quite seem "fair" to me.
And I don't exactly choose to spend 100% of my monthly income, unless choosing to buy groceries, live in a meager/affordable home, and drive to work (no public transportation available) so I can keep my paycheck coming in are choices. I'm not talking extravagant expenses like HDTVs or PS3s. Dammit, I swore I'd stay out of these political discussions.
