"Make people actually write a check every quarter for what they owe (income and FICA) and reform will quickly follow.
Withholding has created an illusion for most people that they pay little or no taxes. "
That is the little secret behind much of the support fo the Fair Tax. Boortz pushes the fair tax all the time and never admits that the reason he likes it is that the fair tax will make the cost of the bloated government obvious to all citizens who pay taxes. Thos who oppose the fair tax want to keep it hidden. I just wish that people in support of the Fair Tax would be more honest and admit their real motives.

The Fair Tax Act will itemize the consumption tax on each receipt making it clearly visible how much Congress is taxing the people. Any attempted increase by Congress would be seen immediately compared to he income tax where legislation to increase taxes can be buried in the 60,000+ page tax code. Consequently Congress will have a much more difficult time convincing the public. The Fair tax website clearly states this specific point
