Homestead mailing list

[bob ford <bobford79 AT yahoo.com>]

We should move  away from all fed. taxes (income , payroll, etc) to a 
consumption tax, that excludes basics to live (basic 
food-water-shelter-clothing -- somebody smarter than me would have to figure 
out how to do those exclusion). 

 I don't care if the consumption tax becomes 100%, it wouldn't matter.  The 
market would show the lie of how money and taxation works.  The market would 
only allow a tax that people were actually willing to pay.  people today 
really have no idea how much of their total income goes to one sort of tax or 
another. ....bobf
