"Under the present system, people that don't declare or have earned income, do not pay federal taxes, so the rest of us have to pay his share and that ain't Fair."

OK. Under the Fair Tax, NOBODY pays income tax. Not you, not the drug dealer.

Just don't say that we will get MORE from the drug dealer under the Fair Tax. We won't. We'll probably get about the same as we do now.

The only way we'll get more money from the drug dealer is if he adds the Fair Tax to the price of his illegal drugs and sends that money to the federal government. I'm not holding my breath on that.

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.
