The tax base is people and you know that.

LOL!

No it isn't. Tax base is WHAT is taxed not WHO is taxed.

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!
