As I showed in post #444, you are "owed" nothing by the government since you paid taxes to cover government expenditures. Since government cannot now "get back" those expenditures by selling that B-1 bomber that crashed, etc. it's not reasonable to think you be paid anything at all that you believe you're owed since you enjoyed the "benefits" of the B-1 bomber etc. as did we all.

If you're "owed" back taxes, then so am I and so are all of the hundreds (or whatever) who've paid their taxes in the past. In fact, those who had to pay estate taxes should also get their "taxes back" I guess.

It's human nature to want special treatment like that, but getting it is quite another matter especially when there's no other reason you should have the special treatment besides being you.

Before you go off the deep end on this matter buying into the rhetoric of the demagogues of "30% tax on everything", I suggest you make an honest effort to us the FairTax Calculator to see what your effective FairTax rate might be under realistic circumstances.

Put your "fairy tax crapulator" away - it's already been proved to be another in a long line of scam tools in your bag of propaganda.
