I support its objectives and its proposed benefits whole heartedly. I began supporting a national retail sales tax over ten years ago. Today, I have one consideration that I hope (assume?) that assiduous attention would be paid to: being as certain as possible (every system will have cheating' especially the current one)that the tax is assessed on goods shipped into the country.<BR/><BR/>No, I don't lay awake at night worrying that the federal government won't have the money it needs to keep America healthy.:-)<BR/><BR/>My concern would be that American commerce does not stand at a stark disadvantage and suffer in the market for relatively expensive items. Especially in the Internet age and on physically small items, there will be offshore interest offering products at substantially lower cost.<BR/><BR/>Again, I assume the system could not be implemented without close attention. But with that consideration, I'm all for it.Larry Perraulthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09036975077624213349noreply@blogger.com
