My vested interst is in keeping my purchasing power, which I have been saving up for decades, as intact from the likes of you, and your frauds, as possible. IRS does not bother me - for me [due to my invested after-tax savings which you want to tax the second time] Vanguard makes Turbotax free.

Silly you. You're taxed the second time anyway. Better without the IRS. Bye.

Your purchasing power would go a lot further if it wasn't taxed several times! Under the income tax, the government taxes your stock, bonds, mutual funds and checking and saving account on the interest, you pay a capital tax when you sell something, you pay income taxes on wages, dividends and interest again and then you pay various sales taxes and fees. Plus payroll taxes into Social Security and Medicare. And don't forget government with holding which is another reduction of your purchasing power. Under the Fair Tax, all those levels of multiple taxation are completely eliminated. You pay ONE tax ONE time when you buy a new good. Now imagine a world where all of the above are untaxed. You effectively have income. Where the government gets its take is when you go out and spend it. Simple and straight.
