Yes! And the president's tax panel along with other research agrees with me. The FairTaxers just ignore that little factoid.
Show me, where in the bill, budget restraints are mentioned. How about illegal aliens? The underground economy?
Yes, the FT demands a balanced budget, expels all illegal immigrants, and outlaws the underground economy. Of course, that is tongue in cheek! In the kindest way I can say it, mom, that may not be the dumbest thing ever said about the FT, there have been many, but I would surely rank it in the top ten.
That is just factually WRONG! Fairtaxers have repeatedly addressed ALL of that and more!
For example, the President's tax reform panel did not analyze the Fairtax at all but some concoction of their own making. You DID kow that didn't you?
Such as Show me, where in the bill, budget restraints are mentioned.
They aren't and they aren't under the icome tax code either but I can tell you that when every person in this country sees what they are paying with every purchase bugetary restraint WILL begin to occur. That certianly has NOT happened with the current system.
How about illegal aliens? The underground economy?
Already addressed elsewhere on this thread and more specifically in the paper this thread is about.
