My email just bounced so I’m sending by snail mail (much faster in this case).
Please consider the political implications of the FairTax. It’s much upstream of what you advocate… but will eventually have an impact (both powerful and sustainable).
Most importantly it’s largely immune to market pressures that effectively force governments to lower the income tax rate. Consequently it makes social democracy economically competitive & therefore viable.
This seems the most effective blow that can be dealt to the jungle capitalism that breeds the social callousness that currently makes the wrong politicians successful.
I hope and feel I’m not wasting your time with this.
