"FairTax legislation would shift taxation from production to consumption!"Given that I spend everything I make -- and that ain't gonna change -- all we're doing is rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. Taking 50% of my income or 50% of what I spend amounts to the same thing.
Call me with a proposal that drops the number to 10%.

Let's see: a 29.87% federal sales tax + 8% state sales tax + 2.25% local sales tax = The end of the consumer economy + the death of the (non-illegal immigrant) service economy.
