[ale] Network profiles - OT fairtax isn't

[Jeff Lightner]

Having been an accountant in my past life I know there is plenty of work
to be done outside of taxes.   As to lawyers - Shakespeare had the right
idea.

I said 30% because currently I'm paying 33% just in salary taxes.   Add
sales, ad valorem and hidden taxes (e.g. "franchise fees" for cable
companies or "excise taxes" built into liquor and perfume) 30% seems
like it would be a nice paring down to start with.

Yeh but if you simplified taxes too much, think of all of the unemployed

CPAs, Tax Professionals, Tax Attorneys, etc that would be not needed 
anymore.
