They will be taxed again when spent even under the present system.
Really!!! We're all ears - lay all those "very serious flaws" right out there in detail for all to see and inspect instead of just making such vague general claims..
No it isn't. Tax base is WHAT is taxed not WHO is taxed.
Okay, the FairTax base is new retail items for consumption. The income tax base is incomes. Now it's correct.
Now it's your turn. The FairTax (H.R.25) explicitly taxes only retail goods for consumption with the expressed intent of taxing those items once and only once. As well, the FairTax eliminates the income tax code and its muscle, the IRS. The FairTax base (retail goods) is much, much larger than the number of incomes tax base (incomes). But you already know all of that. Thus you were being intentionally deceptive (when you wrote: "The Fairtax tax base already taxes everything new, what's it going to expand to, taxing everything used, taxing income?"390
BTW, thanks for assisting me in correcting my error in order to make sure I accurately and specifically identified your dishonesty. (shaking head in near disbelief) You're sooo easy!
Your comments about "freeloaders" merely illustrates you lack of knowledge of the FairTax.
And also reiterates your TP background.
... and you're the dolt thinking that he can wish away all taxation by wishing it away - or possibly by just not paying it as your mentors tell you.
The key is how one ends up with disposable personal income and with the FairTax you'll be better off.
BTW ... "could be" only 20 to 20 percent also.
Just had an enjoyable filet mignon, but I think they chose the wrong wine for the sauce. It was a pushy little wine, and I'm just sure they could have done better.
Further, the seared tuna was seared too long. A decent meal, on the whole, but not quite up to my expectations I'm sorry to say.
Falafel would have been cheaper.
No, your reasoning doesn't ring true. If there were that many serious flaws in the bill it would have approximately 0 cosponsors rather than 52 (you number's off).
As it becomes more and more apparent to the Congresscats that there is great frassroots support, there will be more and more cosponsors joining. None of them are so brave as to wish to be out on a limb not supporting something that there is heavy grassroots support for. This is now becoming known to some of them and will to more later as we progress.
In fact, it's an excellent bill, one that has been more thoroughly researched from an economic standpoint than any other tax bill - by far.
One of your more erudite posts, I'm sure.
I note that you refuse to disclose who your TP hero and teacher might be.
Right, Right!! Kill 'em all!!
You speak of the "real problem" ... that's a lot like O. J. looking for the "real killer" ... you'll both have the same sort of success.
What we really need is an organization for the top 2% of all cooks. Anyone who calls himself a "foodie" would be banned for life, of course. But just imagine the fare at the meetings!
It seems that Izzy is just one of the disruptor wannabes that hop onto the thread and throw some BSA around along with a bunch of insults and then eventually evaporate.
You'll notice that just like Izzy there's no substance in the comments at all - and that's because he knows nothing about the FairTax. That's also par for the course with these types of trolls.
It's great that you continue to expose your ignorance of the FairTax ... and in general also by trying more nonsense posts. Just goes to show everyone how serious you are about taxation - not at all!!

Once it was learned that people could vote themselves bounty from the treasury, it was only a matter of time before they found a gun (IRS) with which to protect their new claim.
Without a major change in the tax collection system the 'great experiment' is over.
