You are still an idiot. You need special assumptions and revolutionary definitions of standard business terms (please see your retarded, yet "dynamic" view of productivity) to make your vision work, while I am using examples from stuff that's already occurred elsewhere.

So, before you read someone's report on why income tax is gay and sales tax is good, drag your ass through a few years of business school, or move to a country that has sales tax.
