Except that it's not. What you're forgetting, ignoring, or haven't considered is that the existing sales tax is *one part* of an individual's overall tax burden and the smallest part in many cases. If, all of sudden, you make a sales tax *the entire tax burden* of someone, now incentives start to radically change at every level. Businesses would totally restructure to provide tax advantages to people. The black and grey markets would sky rocket. Who knows what any of this radical change would do to the economy? Nope, you haven't thought this through at all. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:339771 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
