I very strongly believe that if these basic ideas were implemented, and if the government would keep its greedy paws out of businesses, unemployment would fall to near zero in the United States and the GDP would soar. The United States would experience growth and development like humanity has never seen. I agree 100%, John, but herein lies the problem. I have been led to believe that a flat or consumption tax will decrease the revenues to the government. This is NOT a problem for a normal government, but for a "ME ME ME ME" welfare mentality, it will never work, or pass, for EITHER party. The Repubs will not give up the money or power either. The only hope is the Tea Parties, and someday a 3rd party that will listen to the people. Government MUST spend less for a flat or FAIR tax to work.
