TELL US HOW YOU REALLY FEEL, BRUCE

May 19, 2005

Bruce Bartlett does not appear enthused about the prospect of replacing the income tax with a national retail sales tax:

"It's ludicrous," Bartlett said. "It's idiotic. It's moronic. It'll never happen."

Other than that, he appears to have raised no objections at a symposium on tax reform yesterday.

Tax Analysts commentator David Brunori said states should plan to have their concerns ignored in the tax reform debate:

"I cannot imagine the states gaining more influence," Brunori said. "The people who are having the debate do not care about the state fiscal systems."

But do they care about coffee cup integrity?
