It would be hard to do #2 after you've done #1.
That is why I like the Fair Tax plan.
With NO cost to businesses (income taxes, SS, Medicare, capital gains, etc.)
There will be a explosion of investment and foreign companies moving to the US.
Current US companies currently have around $2 to $3 Trillion dollars sitting overseas that is not coming back to the US because of the "triple" taxes they would incur.
This alone would increase federal revenue.
Plus, we would widen the tax base to illegal jobs (drug dealers, theft, etc.) and to foreign visitors and tourist.
More investment
More jobs
More people paying taxes
More government revenue
How much will prices increase under this plan?
None!
We replace the embedded cost of the current tax code (income tax, payroll taxes, SS, capital gains, etc.) that are added to all products a services (about 22% give or take) and replace it with a one time embedded tax of 23%.
Plus, no more income tax forms and billions of dollars lost paying for accountants to figure it all out.
Read up on it...And let me know what you think.
