    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FairTax[^] What do you think of it? I think it is a good idea. Taxes are collected from businesses who sell goods and services, so consumers have to pay those taxes. Individuals would also receive bigger paychecks. I think income taxes from local, state, and federal government should be abolished and replaced with this system.

    The Digital World. It is an amazing place in which we primitive humans interact. Our flesh made this synthetic machine. You see, we are so smart, we know a lot of stuff. We were grown from cells that came from the universe, which the matter and physics I'm typing in it is amazing how the universe is working. Human life is very amazing. How I experience this sh*t its like wow.

        You think it's a good idea, huh... It's a terrible idea. I hate it with a passion. Loathe it, if you will.

        Drawing on my fine command of language, I said nothing.

                Most countries in the world have it. The US is actually one of the few that don't. They are of 2 kinds: sales taxes are charged in the sales for the end user, value added taxes are charged just in the extra profit each reseller makes on it. Most European countries use the V.A.T.(value added tax).

                They do look like a good idea. However in all the places I've seen they are just another tax, along with the income taxes. Never expect any government to abolish taxes. If a tax like that is approved in the U.S. it will just add to the existing ones and not replace any. Also, governments in general like to put very big taxes in "evil" products (e.g.: tobacco, liquor, imported luxury goods, etc) because over taxation on these is easier to justify. In the end it just stimulates smuggling of these things.

                              You, with about zero income and no ambition to act maturely, you will most definitely lose with such tax rules. Price of food and goods will be offset to reflect the inflation due to bigger paychecks. Projects design to give jobs to the mentally retarded, will have to close down due to lack of funding. You will be out of a job.

                                      Sales Tax, Goods and Services Tax...Whats the difference?

                                          So if I find myself such on the toilet at 4am after a night out eating thai I can get a refund. Awesome!
