[Final Authority]

Unfortunately for us all, we will never have a Fair Tax since one can't define "fair", so by definition we will not have one, and we will not have the FairTax because we will never have a sales tax only with income tax eliminated. Therefore, we won't ever have what you and others are advocating. We need to fight any additional tax or the broadening of the tax base.

One of your "wusser" posts Finial.

"Fair" is defined by the FairTax bill itself it needn't be defined by each person before passage since each can do that afterr it becomes law by controlling his own consumption and paying taxes when and in the amount it suits him to do so. I can think of nothing "fairer" than giving each person the complete control of his affairs in such a fashion.

In passing the FairTax bill, the income tax IS eliminated which you would know if you had read and understood the bill. Here's the link to do so:

Broadening the tax base helps LOWER the tax burden on each taxpayer - you seem to be understanding that exactly backwards.
