Did you read the article???????

Great link by the way. Thanks.

29% hike in user costs and the study is being conservative (no pun intended)

Flat tax would have a much more dramatic effect in the short run than is being represented in this study especially considering the current climate of the housing market.

That article is about a specific flat-tax that was proposed. I don't know the specific details of that proposal. Even if I did, I'm not an economist. That specific proposal may have had specific new rules for real estate investments.

All I'm saying is that I'd like to see some type of combination of a national sales tax and something close to a flat-tax. I don't know what any of the serious details would be. I just think that the current system is terrible and some type of flat-tax and national sales tax would probably make more sense than the current system.
