You shoot yourself in the foot once again, Looey.

The FairTax base is consumption and that is much larger than the base for the income tax (which is based on ... guess what?).

So more taxpayers consume than earn income - far more so than the number of business paying income tax. The real issue is the total dollar base, though, (what is taxed) and you stated it correctly when you said:

"Tax base isn't who is taxed it is what is taxed nitwit!" (though the "nitwit" seems a bit gratuitous).

You're really agreeing with Principled's saying "more taxpayers" though you obviously don't realize it (tempting to add a well-deserved "nitwit" here - but I'm too polite).

[Final Authority]

WRT 250, see, you are not arguing the point correctly based on the original argument offered by me, that is, that a sales tax on an income tax is broadening the tax base. You and the other farttaxers assume (and you know what that is) that the income tax will be eradicated when a sales tax is imposed. On the contrary, the income tax will always be a part of the tax base, adding more to the tax base just means the government will have an easier time confiscating property.

Again, I have to inform the uninformed. There is not enough time in the day to straighten you and the other farttaxers out.

Your entire premise of tax utopia is based on the false presumption that if a tax reform bill is argued in congress and the central issue is whether or not to have a sales tax, that congress will see fit to eliminate the income tax first before imposing a sales tax. I think you really need to see a doctor to treat your delusional thoughts.
