I don’t have any real feelings on fair tax either way but the real problem we face today is spending.
Yes, but there are some real FT nuts out there that won’t listen to reason about it’s chances. I’d love for FT to happen. Problem is why would the 50+ % of asswipes in this country who pay NO taxes at all be interested in something like a ‘fair tax’? No reason whatsoever, period.
DING! DING! DING! We have a winner!
It doesn't matter how over a third of my income was taxed out from under me last year (income, sales, excise, communications, surcharge this, fee that), what matters is that is was.
Next year, they'll want more, because they have been whizzing it away as if I have been making it!
What especially distresses me is the looting of the national treasury replete with kickbacks to congressional family members (YEAH, YOU SAN FRAN NAN!) with our hard earned money. Those ratb@stards are already multimillionaires, they don't need to rip us off.
