THE AutomaticTax PROPOSAL IS READY
The AutomaticTax proposal is ready to "road test" without having to abandon any of the current forms of taxation. Abandoning current forms of taxation and abruptly replacing them with a new form of taxation is virtually impossible without running the risk of very serious disruptions in the economy. Legislators are very risk averse and few are willing to stick their neck out. Every decade or so Congress and the President announce plans for drastic improvements in taxation and Committees and study Panels are appointed to research and study the taxation problems. These Committees  and Panels  in turn will open forums to obtain input and reform suggestions from the public and businesses. In the final analysis not much changes and the only suggestions that seem to be accepted and acted upon by the legislatures are very low risk proposals such as for example changing the font or font size on the 1040 tax form or similar courageous moves. Then during the following decade Congress will add another few hundred or even thousand pages to the already over-complicated tax code. And that brings us to this AutomaticTax reform proposal that is in a form that can be "road tested" with very little cost. That testing can be done without any kind of risk and with all current taxation methods still in place. That makes this AutomaticTax a very safe approach to tax reform and that fact alone should make it very attractive for legislators to act upon and pass enabling legislation to "test ride" the AutomaticTax.

HOW TO TEST THE AutomaticTax
The AutomaticTax is collected by banks and it can be tested and fully implemented within small or large government jurisdictions one at a time or many or all at the same time. The banks doing the tax collection will get well compensated for the tax collection effort they will be doing on behalf of the various levels of government that have nexus to the collected tax revenue. In a dry-run test the tax percentage to be collected could be set at a hypothetical 1% and the actual collection need not take place, but the total of the 1% hypothetical tax that would have been collected can be quantified. From that hypothetical AutomaticTax  test run the system can be evaluated for its effectiveness and it can also be calculated what actual percentage rate should be used to meet or exceed the combined revenue needed by the jurisdictions having nexus to the AutomaticTax to replace or exceed the revenue presently generated by the various current taxation systems.

IMPLEMENTING THE AutomaticTax
After the AutomaticTax has been tested and found to be effective it can be fully implemented. The current several methods of taxation have created millions of jobs through direct employment by the 30,000 or so taxing jurisdictions in their administrative, collection and audit departments, and through indirect employment by thousands of private sector companies that render services associated with taxation. When all these labor-intensive taxation methods are replaced with the very efficient UniversaTax the millions of people now employed because of the current methods of taxation would lose their jobs. All these millions of people must be compensated and the AutomaticTax must be phased in very gradually over a period of several years to give all these people ample compensation during the transition period into new employment or into retirement. The provision of safeguarding income for the millions of affected taxation related employees during a prolonged transition period to the AutomaticTax is vital not only to those employees but is mandatory to protect the total economy from a severe economic crash resulting from the massive unemployment the elimination of all those jobs would create.

AN EXAMPLE OF PHASED IMPLEMENTATION
The safeguarding of the incomes of the millions of tax related employees that would be losing their employment is certainly not a purely altruistic action but rather a wise measure to prevent a serious temporary decline in the general national economy. The example I am proposing here is certainly not binding and many alternate methods can be employed based on underlying conditions. An example:
    If the test runs for the AutomaticTax have determined that the AutomaticTax should be 5% then the tax can be gradually implemented over a period of 4 or 5 years in the following sequence:
    1. Start the first year with 1% AutomaticTax and reduce the tax rates of all old forms of taxation so that they will yield less revenue in an amount equal to that raised by the 1% AutomaticTax. At the same time offer employees of the various taxing agencies lump-sum cash incentives to leave their employment. People employed by the private sector tax related businesses can also be offered incentives by government funded programs to leave their employment. Retiring employees will not be replaced with new hires.
    2. In the second year of transitions to AutomaticTax the tax rate can be increased to 2% and the other taxes can be reduced again to decrease their revenue by approximately the same amount of money gained from the additional increase to 2% of the AutomaticTax. Employment rolls will be reduced additionally by incentives and attrition.
    3. By the third year enough people may have left the employ of some of the smaller tax agencies so that these taxation departments can be totally eliminated and the agencies closed down while the AutomaticTax can be increased by another 1% plus a percentage that will cover the remaining loss of revenue from the closed down taxation departments. The IRS will lose employees at a gradual rate as well and can gradually reduce the number of taxpayers that need to file tax returns starting with those with the lowest gross incomes.
    4. By the fourth year the AutomaticTax can be increased to its full 5% and all other taxes can be stopped while all remaining tax related employees in the employ of government will be offered other government jobs and those jobs will be gradually eliminated as well by attrition in those government departments that have temporarely absorbed and supported the remaining tax related employees that needed to be financially supported. Many tax related private sector companies will may have closed their doors by then or will have reduced employment from downsizing their operations to non-tax related services.
Many different methods for financial support of the displaced tax related employees may in actuality be used in dealing with the transition problems created from switching from the nonsense tax systems we currently suffer under to the new elegant AutomaticTax solution.

ECONOMIC IMPACT FROM CHANGES
Rarely is economic impact considered by governments when they blithely change tax provisions or provisions in other laws and regulations. The mere fact that a AutomaticTax will save billions of dollars does not make it an economic success if you totally ignore the matter of large scale unemployment that will most certainly take place as a result of AutomaticTax implementation. In fact I find the addressing of such problems prior to implementation of the AutomaticTax vital to its initial success and its yielding the predicted benefits not only to the many taxpayers but also to the taxation related employees that will be immediately negatively affected as soon as the AutomaticTax is implemented because they will be out of a job. There is absolutely nothing wrong with providing a government financed complete financial safety-net for as long as is needed to help the taxation related employees and the taxation related businesses make a smooth transition into jobs that are hopefully more productive and businesses that produce goods and services that are really desired by consumers. Even if the new jobs and businesses are not very productive or desired by consumers but they provide employment for those who otherwise would be unemployed, the economy and all the governed will be vastly better off than with the grotesque taxation system we will be getting rid of for good. Part of the legislation for implementation of the AutomaticTax must incorporate immediate government funding that may in the first few years vastly exceed the eventual yearly government savings from this AutomaticTax.com that is very much less expensive in collection costs and administration and enforcement than the current messy system of taxation. During the few years of government financed transition support all workers and businesses are gradually making the transition and the cost of the support will gradually diminish over the years and eventually totally fade out. That is when the total savings to the various governments will finally be realized. The savings to the private sector and the millions of current taxpayers will be IMMEDIATE when the AutomaticTax.com has been fully implemented. 

ADDITIONAL IMPLEMENTATION ASPECTS
I will add additional implementation aspects as they become apparent. A change to a new system of taxation is not a minor matter, because many laws and regulations are based on the old system. It requires careful analysis too consider all transition related preparations to make a transition as smooth as possible. It is a large undertaking that is well worth the effort. We can no longer stick with that shameful monstrosity created by some very dumb experts and congress with plenty of persuasion by lobbyists.
