What part of 'sales tax' don't you understand?
The drug dealers 'income' is tax free now.
The drug dealers 'income' will be tax free under the FairTax plan.
The drug dealer will not add sales tax to his product.
BUT, the drug dealer will buy a big SUV for 65K. Then he'll pimp his ride with about 50K worth spinning wheels and rap blasting stereo equipment.
Unless he's making his own clothes he'll be buying closets full from a retail store.
And of course, he'll have a ho or two that he'll be spending lots of money on.
Everything that he buys, legally, will have a federal sales tax. The drug dealer is paying money to the federal government for the first time.
So I'm saying it: We Will Get More From The Drug Dealer Under The FairTax Plan.
So I'm saying it: We Will Get More From The Drug Dealer Under The FairTax Plan.And less from the other criminal in a drug transaction, the drug BUYER. His income is taxed currently BEFORE he buys the drugs but it won't be touched under the FairTax.
Well, let's say the drug dealer is paying money directly to the federal government for the first time -- he's been paying that same money indirectly under our existing tax system. I thought my lawyer example demonstrated that.
So I'm saying "We Will Get The Same From The Drug Dealer Under The FairTax Plan". The only way we'll get more from the drug dealer is if he starts collecting the Fair Tax on his illegal drugs and sending that money in.
