Don’t count on it.
No.
Taxation isn’t about fairness, it isn’t even about revenue.
It’s about punishing success.
Neal should just go the hell away.....trying to revamp sales of his book? Anyone with any sense knows that nothing like a fair tax, a 999 tax plan, a flat tax are just pipe dreams in this day and age where Obama is very very close to becoming a complete dictator. If Rove and his traitorous super PAC succeed, our only bastion of hope, a Republican House will fall in 2014.
Boortz is just trying to re-feather his retirement nestegg and still stay in the slimelight. He can just go off in his “Boortz Bus” and shut the hell up.
Uhh probably not.
Does anyone have an opinion on replacing the payroll tax with a 1% national sales tax to fund SS and Medicare?
I HOPE NOT~!
The “Fair Tax” is a liberals dream come true.
Right from it’s Orwellian name (there is nothing ‘fair’ about it) to the deceptive “tax-inclusive” rates they keep wanting to use, this is a P.O.S. waiting for a liberal to fall in love and run with it.
And they would once they realize it is not some evil conservative plan to cut revenue to the govt.
They can buy votes with the flick of a switch with this piece of garbage. Every election will be a fight to see which libtard will offer the biggest ‘pre-bate’
Eliminate the ‘prebate’, and use a normal “price + %tax” calculation method (like you see every day in the supermarket) and we’ll talk.
Otherwise the ONLY ‘fair’ tax is a flat tax. 10% across the board and the govt has to live with that - with NO new deficit spending (borrowing more debt).
While the tax COLLECTION certainly needs to be address, SPENDING is what is going to kill this nation. Until the current 24% spending of GDP gets downsized to 18%, we will continue down the death spiral.
And do not tell me that any particular tax strategy or framework will “starve the beast”. As long as Congress has the constitutional authority to borrow money, it is not possible to starve the beast.

Our tax code, in addition to revenue collection, is about wealth redistribution, punishment of success, prevention of success, and behavior modification. The governing class will not give up on those goals.
No, it’s a fantasy to think that there is any chance of the teleprompter in chief sitting down to discuss any flat rate tax with anyone.
I’m fairly certain petitioning for redress of grievances refers to access to courts and the power of the courts to redress wrongs. After all, how can a piece of paper with signatures or the digital equivalent redress anything? It would be entirely up to the receiving authority to do what it wanted, which likely would be to crumpled it up and throw it away.
Why would such empty ceremony be guaranteed by the Bill of Rights?
The fairscam is not tax reform it is just another entitlement check. it, by its own words, is a way for the government to decide what is or is not a family and what is or is not “business.”
It is MORE intrusive than the current system (which needs to go).
FairScam is dead and should stay so.
As an alternative I like the flat tax idea: "How much money did you make last year? Kindly remit 10% to the government." Period. No exceptions, no deductions, 10% and you're done.
Granted, there are problems with the flat tax: charities will scream as will municipalities. But I'm sure that can be worked out without destroying the simplicity of the flat tax.
No. The fair tax would remove the ability of government to change the behavior of the public through the tax code; they want MORE control, not less!
I can pretty much bet on what it will be.
