I believe that I have the right to argue and collect supporters who would oppose the unscrupulous "FairTax" scheme. I believe that showing the group of voters who would be screwed by this scheme that they would be loosers should something like this be enacted, that by numbers, as well as principle, will succeed in defeating this crooked scheme as it is presented, Pigdog.

Indeed you have such a right provided you can offer a better tax system in its place - and most people realize the income tax system we have ain't it. Just bitching about one aspect of something isn't sufficient. You have a few of those who presently profit in some manner by the present system, but none have been able to offer any valid improvements for most taxpayers as does the FairTax and I doubt you'll do so either but merely - like those others - descend into the attack only mode in your efforts to defeat the FairTax.
As for being "screwed", the present system "screws" far more that would ever be done by the FairTax. Le's also realize that your little apocryphal example of "screwing" is nothing of the sort but merely an indication of the type of "government owes me" mentality that has helped us get to where we are with the income tax. But be sure to document your "facts" with studies from recognized, reputable sources so they may be reviewed and analyzed by others who do not agree with you. The lead-in paper is one example of the type of disclosure expected.
