Fair Tax
Alas, Tax Day has now passed without me plugging the Fair Tax.
It’s the most reasonable, progressive, elegant tax system I’ve seen proposed so far–a distributed, trustworthy collection algorithm that the programmer in me loves.
It’s not perfect(*), but it’s a good start, even if Rory is doing just fine with the current system.
(*some loopholes I see: there are no exceptions written in for education services or purchases made to replace losses from disaster, and there is no oversight to prevent corporate “expenses” from being used for personal enjoyment of their shareholders.)
