More yachts for rich people?

More money FROM rich people -
Yep...I am well aware that should this tax system actually pass, it will suppress demand, and prolly throw all their calculations horribly out of whack.
And that's a good thing.
I'm also well aware that this proposed system is going to HUGELY expand the "informal" economy as people barter back and forth to escape from tax purgatory.
And I'll be among the early adopters!

Let me tell you how it will beOriginally posted by Japher
isn't that what the Consumption Tax is for
There's one for you, nineteen for me
'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman
Should five per cent appear too small
Be thankful I don't take it all
'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah I'm the taxman
If you drive a car, I'll tax the street,
If you try to sit, I'll tax your seat.
If you get too cold I'll tax the heat,
If you take a walk, I'll tax your feet.
Don't ask me what I want it for
If you don't want to pay some more
'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman
Now my advice for those who die
Declare the pennies on your eyes
'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman
And you're working for no one but me.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment

So food will be so expensive that you have to grow it yourself to maintain your survival. You should create the political commercials for this tax.

Probably.
And I suppose next I'll be reminded that a "net producer" produces more than he winds up consuming, so I'll have to transport that....
....all the way to the end of my driveway, to swap a few 'taters with my neighbor so we can both avoid going to the store....

*sigh* Ahhhh yes...THIS is what I missed!
No...I never said that food would be so expensive blah blah blah. YOU said that and then cleverly inserted it into my mouth.
What I said was that people will look for ways of cutting corners.
I have a big back yard. Why pay an over-inflated amount for green beans, when I can grow my own? Hardly a revolutionary idea, and I'd expect to see a lot more of it if this tax goes through.
Thus, I get money back in two ways. First, because I'm not being taxed automatically like I am now (see the "Federal Witholding" line of your last paystub), and second, I'm growing many of my own foodstores, and not having to pay artifically jacked-up prices on them.
These monies, I shall invest in nice, low-tax-bearing, interest vehicles....
