Read through some of your past stuff and can relate to your situation.<BR/><BR/>Regarding the FAIR Tax system, I really like it because it only taxes consumption not income. The real issue is though if something like this could actually replace the IRS. Some people are scared of a new system and a lot of people out there, CPAs, accountants, lawyers, that have built careers off of IRS taxes and tax issues. Mike Huckabee is the only one advocating this at a national level being a presidential candidate. We'll have to see how that plays out in the future. By the way it's only a 23 cent tax on every $1 spent.<BR/><BR/>I agree with a lot of things you say regarding this being a good thing. For individuals that spend a lot, they will pay more in taxes. If you only spend money on the stuff you would normally spend money on like a mortgage, food, etc and save more, it's better in the end.Jim ~ mydebtblog.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12831157334066115572noreply@blogger.com
