Do you think putting everyone on the federal dole is a good idea in a free society? It isn't, BTW, but it certainly does one thing, it makes everyone on the same side of intense socialism. There are no givers (mostly conservatives) and takers (mostly socialists (Democrats)) anymore, only those on the dole. It is a precursor compared with voluntarily filing tax returns.

Respecting the tax on after tax investments and savings, there are none as long as I spend it in NH. There is no sales tax and in most states the tax is much less than 10%. I have already been taxed over 30% on this money, I and others who have $trillions in the banks and investment companies would be paying another 30% under a farttax. Opposition to the farttax have already asked for a "preindex" payment to all holders of such post tax assets. As soon as that concept was aired and the cost was revealed ($trillions up front) the idea of fairness in the farttax is immediately dismissed.

It is dead in congress, the President has done nothing except continue to solidify his position and the position of Wall Street respecting the present system. When WSJ and Forbes editors think that the farttax is a good idea, you may have something, but it ain't happening, now or ever.

The prebate is not a 'dole'.

The FairTax is not socialism.

You have things exactly backwards.

What is your benefit from the current slave tax?

Sorry, Finial, it's no dole. It's a refund of some of the taxes you've paid.
