National Retail Sales Tax

Rating:
Summary: Clear, concise and it makes good sense!
Review: "The National Retail Sales Tax" by Congressman Billy Tauzin reveals several startling things about the income tax system and how it holds down Americans, preventing them from accumulating savings, forcing them to lose family businesses and putting them at a decided disadvantage when competing with products from abroad. It is truly sinister how hidden taxes have been woven into the fabric of American life. Billy Tauzin shows, for example, how you and I, the people who buy goods in stores for our everyday survival, actually pay all the taxes for businesses. By not knowing how this happens, people can go on thinking high taxes on businesses and the wealthy don't affect themselves. Big mistake! Fortunately, the Congressman has a solution, for which he makes a convincing argument in the book, laying out point-by-point and side-by-side the effects of the current income tax, a flat tax on income and a national retail sales tax. He makes it easy to understand the different proposals for changing our tax system. Best of all, he lays out how we can throw out the income tax like the Sons of Liberty who threw over-taxed tea into Boston Harbor two centuries ago.

Summary: Tauzin is a master boondoggler
Review: Billy Tauzin is another republican with some good ideas. The problem is that his party stands for nothing in particular. Yes, they have their tendencies, but they don't have principles.

We have a republican majority, but we don't have republican agreement on anything important. Nothing's more significant that our income tax problem. Having a graduated income tax was not an idea ever promoted by our founders. It came from Karl Marx. It punishes achievement. It was invented to crush ambition.

So Tauzin will go in and argue for this NRST, but he'll leave out the step of first repealing the 16th amendment, so then we'll get the worst of all possible scenarios: an NRST and income tax running at the same time-total slavery.

Summary: It Will Put these U.S. Back on Their Feet
Review: Keep all you earn. The government financed by a uniform, nationwide excise on the articles of consumption. Each product taxed only once. Pay excise (tax) only on the new goods. Buy used goods tax-free. Save or invest tax-free. In a nutshell: no one pays any taxes till they really can afford it. The highest amounts of taxation paid only by those who can really afford it. What could be more fair? No withholding; no paperwork; no hassle; no IRS; no more of the collosal waste of time and effort and resources, as is in the case of the present practice of taxation on incomes.

Review: Nobody disagrees: The current Income Tax system is a mess! More and more people also are agreeing that Rep. Billy Tauzin (R-LA) has a sensible solution to fix it... no, let me be more precise ...he has a sensible solution to REPLACE it, and abolish the IRS, to boot!

His book spells it out clearly. It's easy to read and easy to understand. The kind of no-nonsense book that is fitting for his no-nonsense Tax Reform plan.

I believe that Tauzin (and the 18 bi-partisan co- sponsors of his Bill) have got it right and Tauzin has done a yeoman job of setting it forth in his book. He makes the case convincingly. Every taxpayer in America should read this book! There is a better way and Billy Tauzin shows us that way! -Cliff Cofer
