Rubbish. Since the government take from the economy [sum total of all the taxes] would remain more or less the same, about 70%-80% of this new "fair tax" would represent what used to be the income tax [the same proportion of government revenue as it is now]. Spending one's already taxed money now, one might be subject to paying sundry other taxes, which, however, are minuscule [3 times smaller] in comparison with this additional "income tax equivalent" part of the proposed burden. And the prices would not change much, for neither the amount of goods on the market nor amount of money available would change much either.

It is not my practice to converse with anti-FairTax posters via Private Mail to carry on discussions out of sight of the threads.

Since that's the case, I'd ask you to repost your Private Mail to me on this thread if you wish a response.
