A slashdot.org user shared this link: FairTax.org.
It's a proposed system where people would pay a relatively flat percentage sales tax. The poor would get money from the government. Every other tax would be eliminated.
I think that there is a huge potential for this movement. It isn't just a grassroots organization of disgruntled tax payers. The system was created by economists, accountants, and MIT people. John Stossel supports it. Many Republicans, Democrats, and Libertarians also support it. I think that it is really going to be implemented.
You could check out the YouTube videos on the topic.
I am actually quite jealous of America. Hopefully, we can get something like this going.
