A suggestion: people like graphics. If you can create a graphic that shows and contrasts the results of the EPIC consumption tax proposal vs. the expensive situation we're dealing with now, it could make a real difference.

I am a graphic artist, and I can create those graphics, but--math really isn't my strong suit. But--if you're willing to work with me on this, I would be happy to contribute my effort. If you want to sit down and explain it to me, we could hash out a diagram, or a series of diagrams over coffee/tea. Reach out to me on Gab, and we can set something up.

Anyone can email me at andrewlsullivan@substack.com I appreciate the offer. The real challenge is to explain to people the burden of the current tax system. Merely half of the property tax bill is among the highest bill anyone will pay in a year, for example.

I really like the idea of tax reform. I don't know enough about the EPIC consumption tax proposal to know if I would love it or hate it.

But I do want to see MEANINGFUL tax reform, especially since what I'm seeing happening now in Lincoln suggests that retirees are being forced out of their homes due to artificially inflated real estate values raising their tax burdens to unreasonable levels. This is--unmentionably vile and a sin against our neighbors as well as an injustice before God.

We need to fix it before it goes any further.
