re: #689 Aceofwhat?

It’s a very fair question, but it’s a different one. I was just trying to be precise (i.e. not an “ideologue”…heh) and admit that what works for our economy may not be the right prescription for, say, Benin.

I think that Eastern Europe offers a very interesting example of one way to successfully tune your previously crappy economy into a higher-peformance machine.

Lots of flat taxes over there…

The flat tax still allows for perverse corporate loop holes, just like our current code. I’ve read both Steve Forbes’ “Flat Tax Revolution” and Boortz and Linder’s “FairTax Book”.

I’m on the FairTax side 100%.
