Do you sheople ever bother to look at your pay stub and see how much money of YOURS is taken before you even see it?

I can't speak for others, but I am painfully aware of how much the Fe'ral Goverment demands from me. But that wasn't the point. I am fully aware of all the magical claims by the Fair Tax crowd. What I was soliciting was a comment or two on how does this reduction in sales tax translate into any public support for the Fair Tax?

The Fair Tax tries to create an asinine lopsided tax scheme based on the unfounded premise that "Sheople" will ignore the burgeoning black-market and willingly pay 20%+ more for goods and services. I don't care to argue that, its pointless because clearly the law makers have stuck their dampened fingers into the political winds and have divined that the Sheople want lower sales taxes, not substantially higher let alone current sales tax levels.

I'm just thinking that this latest action is akin to pouring grit in the gears of tax change.

"What I was soliciting was a comment or two on how does this reduction in sales tax translate into any public support for the Fair Tax?"

And that is the answer I gave...no withholding. This joke of a social engineering reduction in sales tax would mean nothing if people actually got to keep all the money that they make.

They throw a few crumbs and the people get excited...probably the same people who are excited by a tax "refund" Politicians love it when the masses grovel.

You are being disingenuous regarding the cost of items under the fair tax...surely you know about embedded taxes and their effect on cost...explains why you don't want to debate it.

If the politicians were really sticking their dampened finger into the wind (btw:no reason for them to do that..they get to decide what you pay and when you pay it. Meaning: They have the power because of a tax code that is purposefully obscure to the point that the sheople could never understand it) then said politician would figure out that the income tax is a 20,000 page social engineering hammer over the peoples' heads and they would do away with it.
