How would you know that?

Because EVERYONE gains in the world of fairytaxers. Its a plan that takes the same amount of money out of the economy, but everyone who checks with the handy dandy fairytax calculator comes out way ahead. It is a miracle.

It was never said that everyone gains under the FairTax and you know it. Why intentionally present misinformation as you like to do? Most taxpayers will benefit under the FairTax however. You don't seem to realize that, being too blinded by your own bias against it.

Also, I've never stated it would "take the same amount of money out of the economy". That merely sounds like another of your fake charges.

What a dream, eh?

[Principled]

The base for the income/payroll tax is much smaller than the base for taxable consumption under the nrst. Do you get that?

Under the income/payroll tax scheme, the gov't requires 25% of my earnings - because of what my income represents as a portion of the base. But make the base larger and the gov't can get the same amount of money by taxing me less.

That is, my discretionary spending represents a smaller part of the consumption base than my income represents of the income base.

I really don't think you get that.
