We've been round and round this mulberry bush so many times I'm sick of it!

So am I sick of the FairTaxers both claiming that, hidden taxes embedded in every item we purchase are significant and burdensome, and that it doesn't amount to a hill of beans when ill gotten gains go shopping.

Why do you people continue to post this lie when you KNOW it's a lie?

What is the lie? The logical expectation that the black market will grow? That those in the black market pay no income tax now and will pay no income tax under the FairTax?

Is keeping the communist inspired, class warfare, social engineering enabling income tax THAT important to you?

Oh please don't tell me that you think the FairTax avoids social engineering.

I don't hate so much that I am willing to cut off my nose to spite my face.

Many of the FairTaxer's arguments come off sounding retaliatory; don't like big government spending - arrange purchases to avoid taxes (of course that nullifies the "people spend no matter what" argument). Strike out against them K Street lobbyists representing big business seeking government favors (does that sound like class warfare?), support the FairTax. Make those illegals pay (maybe they'll go home), support the FairTax.

The problem is that the FairTax does not address any of those issues.

That will do for starters!

Under the FairTax NO ONE will pay any income tax because there will not BE an income tax to pay!!!

How so?

don't like big government spending - arrange purchases to avoid taxes (of course that nullifies the "people spend no matter what" argument).

I does no such thing as there will be virtually none who can avoid spending altogether.

Strike out against them K Street lobbyists representing big business seeking government favors (does that sound like class warfare?)

Nope! Doesn't sound like that at all to me! Sounds like perfectly good sense in fact. Nothing like class warefare as I understand the term.

, support the FairTax. Make those illegals pay (maybe they'll go home)

Yeah! Another good idea and a VERY practical one to boot!
