It was detailed, except the model used was not based on elimination of payroll taxes, especially from the employer's end, which would drastically reduce costs to business, thus lowering business costs, and prices. Nor did it factor in the 2003 idea of a 23 % (instead of 18.2%) tax with a $3600 per year per household "pre-bate". This amounts to a $15,000 + exemption... PLUS, no payroll taxes.

It also assumes that ALL income from high income earners IS subject to tax, which it is not. Most "super rich" have vast amounts of income from tax free accounts. Not to Pick on the Kerry's, but thet paid a 12% net rate... and I don't blame them, they used the current law to their benefit.

As for cars... the free market system would, within 3 years, adjust the value of cars... used car values would rise, with the net effect being the guy trading in his car would get more on trade. And people buy new for the status, give a $100,000 per year guy ALL his income... and there will be an extra Corvette sold.

Spiff.... there would be SOME grumbling from people if this was to pass... that grumbling would be from all the people either getting a free ride, and accounts and IRS people.

I will personally kick in $10,000 to a "re-train the IRS into a productive member of society" fund...
