Again, the FairTax is only one of several possible tax collection alternatives. And if we are honest, while it stops funding for the IRS, it recreates the same tax collection and enforcement via the Sales Tax Bureau. So that the IRS agent leaves on Friday and will return on Monday as a Sales Tax agent. Same Agent, Different Day.
I have read HR 25 ... with a rather skeptical eye. Again it is only changing how the money is collected.
Did you read the part that specifies that the states collect the FairTax?
And the part where the Feds monitor the states collection of the tax?
And the part where the businesses and the states that collect the tax get paid for doing so?
Under the FairTax, on American will ever have to annually disclose his/her private financial matters to a faceless bureaucrat: how much money a person earns is nobody’s business!
That single provision — I call it the FREEDOM! provision — makes the FairTax worthwhile!
