Thanks for the clarification, lewislynn. I was going to address that gross misstatement by Hostage, but you beat me to it. HR25 is quite clear, and it will lead to a major constitutional crisis, imho. There is no precedent for the federal government taxation of State and Local government consumption. It would be totally improper, and I don’t believe it would stand. Over $2 trillion of the AFFT approved tax base was Government consumption. If that gets thrown out, the new sales tax rate would approach 43%. Add the typical State sales tax and we would be looking at a 50% sales tax rate. Never happen!!!

I know and don't get me started on his "rebate" double-talk (and frankly any part of the Fairtax) lunacy.

I've been on Fairtax threads since at least 1998 or 1999...Long before he ever showed up. He's all about wishful thinking and make it up as you go along to make it sound good...AKA lying.
