It is too funny that they think one of the big selling points is that the plan promotes savings and investement, as opposed to consumption, yet....
those who are savers and investors under the present system are the ones that get hammered the worst by the FairTax.
The FairTax is a complete fraud, and that is obvious by the lying tactics of those who are trying to sell it to a gullible population.
I am one of those people who assumes that Social Security will not be there for me when I retire and I am also a high income/frugal lifestyle type of guy that has accumulated far more money in after-tax savings and investments than in tax deferred retirement accounts.
On these threads, I am told that my double taxation concern is a non-issue since people such as I don't exist and nobody under the present system has enough after-tax savings to bother about.
