"Most small business people spend a small percentage of their time and money for filling out corporate tax forms. Almost every single small business owner I have talked with doesn't want to see a major change like this made which endangers the entire economy and everything they have built in the likley case that the FairTax proponents are wrong in their rosy assumptions.
They continue to lie about the plan, so I have no confidence in their statements."
Rob, when these small business owners come to you to have their taxes done, I am sure they are concerned with how they pay taxes and how much they pay. You keep telling them that they can't live without your services.
I have a lot of respect for folks that frequent this site and debate issues in the best interest of our country. Calling people liars diminishes your credability. A liar is someone who "knows" what they are saying is misleading. I don't see that too often on this cite. What would be the motivation for folks to intentionally mislead people about replacing a tax plan. If you think there are folks trying to sell books here, then you should note that proceeds are supposedly being donated to charity. Do not be mean and nasty. And do not be angry.
By calling people liars, you sound like a democrat. No you don't want people to think you are a democrat do you?
I am a small businessman who pays an accountant less than $600 per year to do my annual corporate taxes. I do the quarterly returns myself and it takes about two hours per quarter total. I do my own 1040 and it takes about 8 hours. I will not save anything substantial in compliance costs with the FairTax and most small business is the same.
