I never seen a Freeper so determined to keep the current tax code.. You love taxes just admit it... I am going to bed now. However, I can promise you I am going to contact the Dr. and see if this is valid, what does he thing of the fair tax and if your conclusion was correct.

Rob,

You're forgetting a large part of the equation. The savings is not coming from employers keeping a part of the employee's pay. It's coming from corporations not paying taxes and conformance costs that are ultimately passed onto the consumer. The calculations are going to be quite difficult because taxes are paid every time one corporation makes a profit and sells to another. Also each one of these corporations has to pay the cost of complying with the current system.

In other words every piece of every product contains an element of tax and compliance costs that are passed on to the next corporation who handles the part before passing it on to the next corporation. Just imagine the number of companies involved in the production of an automobile.

Your initial massage says you are for the tax. Please make sure you understand what you are talking about before you set out confusing others who know even less than you do. Maybe you need to do a little more research.
