Tax Guru-Ker$tetter Letter

Fair Tax, Foul Politics – Surprisingly strong opposition to the FairTax proposal by the editors of National Review, who believe it to be political suicide for any candidate supporting it. I think they are overstating the country’s love for the IRS; but this is a good example of how impossible it is to make a radical change in the tax system with no majority supporting any alternative. We are doomed to eternal tinkering with the current system, guaranteeing an unending amount of work for us tax pros.
