I just wish that these so-called 'Fair Taxers' would just ONCE comment on the transition phase between two different tax systems.

So unless the transition phase is pain-free, it is not worth doing a reform? The reason we are in the situation we are in the first place is because politicians fooled people into thinking that only the rich would be taxed. Now, we have this awful system. It has to be destroyed. It will probably be painful no matter how we do it, but it must be done.

KEY QUESTION: Tell me how we won't be stuck with ANOTHER tax system.

I am in favor of a Dick Armey-style flat tax, (reform of the current income tax). If we can't get even that passed, all of this fair tax theory is just silly.
