The problem is spending. All Fairtax is about is substituting methadone for heroine for the tax and spend junkies.

No Tax system is designed to reduce spending although The Fair Tax will abolish the IRS and eliminate the billions spent to run it.

Okay. I just don't buy into it. The government is never going to relinquish its taxing authority. At 46 years old now I've never seen the gubmint refuse a buck. It is exactly what many of us young conservatives in the 70's said it would become.

They are seizing old peoples' homes here in PA for unpaid property taxes. (They've doubled in some instances in this last year). I believe the same mentality that is capable of atrocities like that wouldn't hesitate to lie and revive the income tax.

Horse hockey - there's still going to have to be some sort of gov't bureaucracy to collect the funds.

Not true. You will stiller have to have a government agency to enforce collection and remittance.

As well as save hundreds of billions in wasted compliance costs.
