I have so many questions on this one that I would prefer hughento come here and explain exactly what this will mean to the rest of the tax code and what he plans to do to the rest of the tax code.

Also, if this is part of a larger plan, why not introduce it when the rest of the plan is ready (or if the rest of the plan is ready, introduce it now as an amendment).  I hate voting on partial measures without knowing the future of the plan right in front of me.

If this is simply a tax increase, I will not vote for it.

First off I agree with Sam. I believe that for this to be put into effect we need to overhaul the current IRS and the current Tax System. Otherwise this will be one of the most major tax increases in Atlasian history. For us to put a GST into effect we will have to revamp our tax system so as to make sure that the tax burden on the people either remains the same or is decreased. While I believe that a National Sales Tax/GST would be a step in the right direction for Atlasia it must also be accompanied by a reworking of the current IRS and the current tax code.

Also for this to work all regional sales taxes would need to be declared null and void. Otherwise you could have people in the Northeast paying 6.5% on top of the 5 or 10% GST.

How is it Constitutional for the executive to be empowered to raise the GST by fiat?

Why would any moderate or conservative vote for a tax increase without reductions in spending?

Can you explain yourself here? Where does it say that the executive would be empowered to raise the GST by fiat? The second sentence doesn't make much sense could you explain that? Not that it matters now since this bill does not have a sponsor.
