A Question for Acton Institute | National Catholic Reporter

A Question for Acton Institute | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: This is not a ten line paragraph.  I certainly don't speak for Acton, nor do they speak for all things libertarian.  Speaking for myself as a libertarian socialist, I would switch from income and payroll taxes (with only the rich paying income surtaxes on earnings, inherited income and non-wage income) to a Value Added Tax-like Net Business Receipts Tax  Employers could pay the tax, give a contribution to the Church to house the homeless or employ the homeless and include housing as part of their compensation for working toward full contributing members of society.  That may mean literacy, addiction medicine, psychiatry or just opportunity.  There would be NBRT credits to work with at both the federal and state levels - which in DC might as well be one tax.
