That is a very nice post but it has very little, if any, relevance to the subject at hand. The fact is that governments at all levels have usurped ever larger portions of the economy and have done so largely by granting themselves all manner of advantages over the private sector. They MUST do so as they are so utterly inefficient that they CANNOT otherwise compete with the private sector.The fairtax seeks to correct that, at the federal level at least, and return the tax system in this country to something much more in keeping with what the founders intended in the process.

It would me address the subject at hand if you would give some specific examples so that I would know exactly what you are talking about.
