I listened to it on CSPAN and all they did in the house was talk about how this wouldn't work, but they had to do it anyway....

be afraid...be very afraid....the credit markets need people with credit, and you can't get credit when you don't have a job...and you can't create jobs if there isn't any credit....so how does this all work again?

The whole thing cold be solved easily by the feds, elimante our old, inefficiant tax system and put a fedreal sales tax on stuff. That way, you cant cheat like today, the people that have the most $ spend the most $, therfore, they pay the most taxes.

No income tax, no complicated tax code, no loop holes, no IRS workers on the dool, no tax preperation money to spend blah, blah, blah
