The Fair tax is a one-time tax at the cash register.

Yea and the raw materials bought by the "corporations" for their product are taxed and passed on to the stupid consumers who pay for the tax again at the cash register.

No, they're not. Corporate and individual income taxes, Social Security, Medicare - all that's gone. Everything is taxed ONCE. The FairTax has nothing in common with the European VAT scheme where a tax is imposed on every stage of producing a good right down to the final sale at the cash register. In America, you will be taxed ONCE and that's it. That's how a fair tax system is supposed to work.

You're confusing an NRST with a VAT. An NRST is a retail sales tax, it would not be levied on business-to-business purchases.

With the Fair Tax, nothing is taxed until there is a retail sale. So, raw materials would not be taxed. Only the end product purchased at retail would be taxed.

You must not have read anything on the Fair Tax if you do not know this keystone of the whole idea.

Wrong.

[mombrown1]

Those raw materials will not be taxed. No item used in the production of a final end product will be taxed. No corporate taxes that can be passed on to the consumer. There is only one tax - at the cash register on new goods and services.

[pigdog]

Completely wrong - not taxed.

Not under the fairtax they don't! It is a point of retail sale tax on NEW goods and services only.

Do yourself a favor and spend a little time reading here before you spout off too much about what you do not know anything about.
