hunter supports this idiocy. He is still surging to 1%.
A college student that can’t see throught this Fair Tax socialist BS, deserves to be a marxist.
Good for Hunter. I wish he’d done better.
And you have things backwards. Our current income tax system is the Marxist one. (Does that make those who cheerlead for it Marxists?) Consumption taxes were favored by our founding fathers and produced most of our free Republic’s income for much of its existence.
So you prefer federal witholding, which effectively hides taxes from people, and allows the gov’t to promote refunds of your own money as a windfall ?
Or you like the FICA tax - 7.2% obvious, another 7.2% paid by the employer, who undoubtedly pays you less as a result.
From my perspective as a person who sees all sides of tax transactions - if I don’t pay 15.2% in FICA taxes, then that means my effective federal tax rate comparison would only be 7.8% - a helluva lot less than I pay now.
For me, and for everyone else, just based on the numbers the Fair tax has me paying a whole lot less in taxes than I do now.
A college student that can’t see throught this Fair Tax socialist BS, deserves to be a marxist.
