Check with Your Nightmare - he also has a number of fanciful schemes as to how he thinks you might get around paying taxes. That probably means he's doing those things now since there is a greater enticement to do so (more $$$) and he's less likely to get caught (as IRS figures show) than under the FairTax.

Of course all of those fanciful schemes are illegal and with the FairTax there is a much better chance of being detected in that sort of defalcation (more audit resources concentrating on fewer points) but - by all means - GO RIGHT AHEAD! You can both share the same jail cell with Bubba.

My scenario was completely legal and above board.

There will always be a number of fanciful schemes put forth by 'clever' men who think they can get around paying taxes. -- In a way income taxes promote socialism, explaining why these schemers defend them so irrationally against a fairtax type structure that would promote freedom.

And they always protest that their schemes are completely moral and above board, -- they go so far as to claim they hold the moral high ground, even when everyone can see their true agenda..

Hypocrisy abounds.
