"And now these scumbags want to come along and confiscate what I've put aside so that they may enjoy more current $."
As has been noted, there's no "confiscation" at all. there is only the spending the taxpayer decides to do for taxable items. Any new income under the FairTax is not taxed at all. It is the consumption that is taxed ... and as shown in the Calculator, many things are not taxed.
Have you done as suggested and used the FairTax Calculator to determine your effective tax rate under the FairTax??? If not, you're merely falling for the balderdash put out by the anti-FairTax lobby and not determining your own position.
In other words, If you have been clever and successful, earned a great living, put away a large nest egg, taken care of your kids, never cheated on your taxes, invested well, earned the right to live the good life, you're either going to take it right up the wazoo, or have to learn to live like a hermit. After all, piggy poo says it's all about the spending ... I hope they invent better tasting dog food and waterproof refrigerator boxes by then.
