OT

One of the questions raised has been the fairness of double taxation in the transition, people who currently have accumulated savings that were taxed when earned having to pay tax again when they need to spend their savings.

If there was a good, and not overly complex answer to that question I'd be a major supporter of something like the "fair tax" idea. I strongly dislike income taxes.

There are other objections and problems, but I think they can mostly be overcome or ignored (not in the sense of pretending they don't exist, they should be considered, but in the sense of pointing out that the income tax is also far from perfect, that no tax system will be perfect)
