IMO the fair tax would raise a lot more revenue. Every tourist who comes here from another country on vacation or for business would be paying tax everytime they bought something. All the 11-20 illegals would be paying tax everyday as would the people who run cash only enterprises.
it would at least quadruple the size of what we now call the IRS. and it would be more complicated than obamacare. a simple flat tax on ALL income would be much more fair and efficient, and will cost less.
but i’m not gonna argue with the ‘fair-ies’ because they can’t see the facts that stare them in the face. the facts in their own proposal.
