The less money you make, the bigger percentage of your income you spend on sales taxable items.

On the contrary. The less money a person makes, the less they will spend. The less they spend under the Fair Tax, the less they will be taxed. Not to mention the rebate for taxes on necessities up to the poverty level. I suggest you do more research at www.fairtax.org before you reach anymore conclusions.

That's a no brainer. I said bigger percentage of income. Families who make less than $75,000 a year (well above the poverty line) spend a lot greater percentage of their income on sales taxable items than families who make over. You're talking about multiplying their sales tax by at least x5 for necessities while the rich beat the tax by cutting back on frivolous items thus negatively affecting the economy in the process.

I suggest you do more research at www.fairtax.org

I researched enough to see that Boortz is trying to sell a book to fools.
