Maintaining the income tax are your words. Other than in you own mind, where did anyone commit to maintaining the income tax?

What other possible result could there be if we don't adopt the FairTax? We've tried income tax reform over and over again. It simply doesn't work.

You mean besides it doesn't exist and has never been tried

Is that your reason not to try? Is that it? We'd still be in the dark ages with attitudes such as that.

If your answer is there are 45 states that have sales taxes that work great, why doesn't the Fairtax even remotely resemble ONE of them?

Because the FairTax is a national tax. It has to replace such things as income taxes on gov't employees. It would be fine with me to simply add a percentage to the sale and forget it. How about you?

All the rest...

You and your comrades always like to say that but you can't name a single one other than Bruce Bartlett. Where are the names?

What's to be against yet? It's a non-starter that doesn't exist and would be a total waste of time at this point....Unless of course there's some money or other compensation in it for them.

What was in it for the 75 who signed the letter?

You choose to let economists guide your way...I'm not impressed by their profession or their predictions...You are, so be it.

Who else to expertly judge the merits of a method of taxation? It is an economic issue. Believe it or not we don't adhere to lewislynn's economic thinking.

You don't know any other way therefore there is no other way?

It's not like we're going to try to build a rocket that if it doesn't work there'd be no harm. What government policies brought us out of the dark ages?

HUH?

It would be fine with me to simply add a percentage to the sale and forget it. How about you?

How about me what? We've already established where I stand on the Fairtax...How many times do you have to keep asking the same stupid questions? Other than potentially using the answer against them, why does it even matter?...You support it, not everyone else does, get over it.

You and your comrades always like to say that but you can't name a single one other than Bruce Bartlett. Where are the names?.....
What part of "It's a non-starter that doesn't exist and would be a total waste of time at this point" do you not understand?

I know that like you know they actually studied the legislation and not the rhetoric. I know that like you and they know there would be (yet to be defined) 100% paychecks and certain price reductions
Believe it or not we don't adhere to lewislynn's economic thinking.
If you knew what it was you might, or you might and don't know it...I didn't know the Fairtax was the end all to all economic thinking...It truly is a cult if that's the case.

The NTU
Herritage Foundation
CATO institute
FreedomWorks
The New Economist
All emerging democratic economies

Just to name a couple

In what way doesn't it work?
