The majority of taxes show up on your pay stubb every week

uh, no. How about: compliance cost, the taxes paid by employees, regulations and the AMT?

Compliance costs and regulations are not taxes. And yes, the vast majority of taxes are paid by individuals and in most cases show up on pay stubs. So what I said was not wrong. There will be some savings in compliance costs, but not nearly the amount that fairtaxers want to claim. And for the most part, regulations will still be in place and do not come into play in this discussion.

Compliance cost do count....we would not have those costs if not for the income tax...compliance cost are part of the cost of dealing with the IRS and they, no matter how big or small you think that they are, do not show up on a pay stub!

And the AMT?...please show me where I can calculate that little ditty prior to tax time? Please show the cost of the AMT on my pay stub (or stubb if you prefer)? And taxes paid by employers.....where is that on my stub?

Regulatory taxes will still be in place, but they do not and never will show up on my pay stub and you said: "the majority of taxes show up on your pay stubb every week"

You are wrong. You just choose to ignore or try and minimize.

"...regulations will still be in place..."

Are you arguing that the FairTax will not effectively repeal the Internal Revenue Code? If the Statute is repealed, why do you believe the supporting regulations will have any import?
