On the other hand, you are amazingly confident that you know exactly what would happen if we instituted something completely unprecedented in the world. Since your ability to prophesy the effect of even minor changes in tax law is so poor,
Retail sales taxes are hardly unprecidented in the world, in fact we have 45 five examples of there successful implementations in the states, many of which have economies in excess of most nations in the world. Texas being a fine example of not only using retail sales tax but managing to do without income taxes as well, as is called for in the FairTax legislation.
FairTax just implements what has already been shown to be a sucessful formula for funding the basic functions of a government. The FairTax legislation simply takes what has been successful in the political laboratories of the states and implements it on a national scale using state expertise in administering sales tax systems to administer the same on the national level.
why would you believe that you can so confidently predict the outcome of a completely revolutionary society?
LOL, talk about slipshod logic and fallacy this really takes the cake. Just looking at the result of such revolutionary societies that have many examples throughout the world. Anarchy leads to a dead end.
The nasty part of revolutions is there is no way to control the outcome to a good result as by definition there is no-one responsible for steering the ship away from the shoals. The general path of anarchy usually ends up in tyranny and dictatorships in one form or another regardless of the expressed intents of its proponents in initiation revolution in the first place.
Not interested in the least in going down your path. Seen to many examples of anachy and where it leads in the world.
You dingbat. What's unprecedented in the world is complete elimination of government, as a way to end the oppression once and for all. You're positive you already know that, without Teddy Kennedy watching you like a hawk, you and your neighbors would erupt in a shooting war for domination of your block. You dismiss such a suggestion as guaranteed "chaos", when you haven't the foggiest what it would really be like.
By contrast, you also make confident predictions about the impact of the "fair tax", which are easily seen to be absurd on their face.
So far you've revealed two ridiculous assumptions about humans. First, you assume that they do not adapt to new conditions (they do). Second, you assume that, unless Teddy Kennedy keeps a sharp eye on them, they'd all suddenly start raping, pillaging and murdering each other (they wouldn't).

Ignorance clearly breeds absolute confidence. But we already knew that. It has seldom or never been tried in history. On the occasions that it has was tried, such as colonial Pennsylvania for about a decade, it has worked well. But, being ignorant of such things, you're comfortable throwing a dart at a map and saying, "Rwanda. See? It doesn't work!" as if Rwanda was a relevant example.
Not interested in the least in going down your path.
Of course not: you believe in oppression; you simply want the oppressors to do things your way.

It's safe to say that you've never seen an anarcho-capitalist society in all your life. You're picking some random hell-hole and labeling it that, meaninglessly. I might as well counter, "I've seen enough brothels to know that your philosophy doesn't work either."
