I'm telling you that they can say anything they want to fool the little people: if they actually implement it, it will be both.
And you can say anything that you want to scare people away.
What the FairTax does is remove the entire infrastructure of the income tax. A seperate bill initiates the repeal of the 16th Amendment. Under the FairTax, the states will be paid for the collection efforts, (I don't believe that they are now) so the states won't object. The IRS is an multi billion dollar boondoggle that is a drain on this nation and suppresses the economy.
I have to believe that you are more interested in protecting a niche for yourself, because is you are honest, you will admit that we already have the two taxes that you fear will happen under the FT.
