That should certainly help boost sales of US made products, don't you think, since those prices will drop before having the FairTax imposed ? At least there will be a level playing field for taxing both types of products whereas now there is not.

A legitimate point and the biggest reason why we should consider adopting some form of a sales tax. Unfortunately, I am not sure there would be any support for a greatly reduced flat income tax combined with a smaller sales tax rate that only excludes food and housing without the prebate nonsense. I just don't see how a wholesale transaction from an income tax to a sales tax can work.
