I've also given some thought to putting a sequence-like data format into the
Forth language, so it could directly recognise something more useful than
simple integer values (other stuff is handled by workarounds, which are easy
in Forth). That wouldn't be very safe to do with garbage collecting though,
because Forth is inherently a less stable environment for the assumptions a
GC needs. PML.
GST+NPT=JOBS
I.e., a Goods and Services Tax (or almost any other broad based production
tax), with a Negative Payroll Tax, promotes employment.
See http://users.netlink.com.au/~peterl/publicns.html#AFRLET2 and the other
items on that page for some reasons why.
