It puts us back in charge. As my FRiend Gabz said, "When I can't control my taxes, I have to control my spending. With the FairTax, I control my taxes so I don't have to control my spending." (did I get that right?)

Yes, my FRiend, that is what I said, (but it was said poorly, not unusual for me).....My point was that if I was controlling the taxes I was required to pay, I would have more control over my spending.

Under the current system, I only have "X" amount to spend after the government has already taken it's share of what I've earned.

Under the FairTax, as understand it, I'm only paying tax on something I choose to purchase, which means I have far more leeway in my spending. (did I get that right?)

You didn't say it poorly at all. And I am not the only one that likes it. I've seen other people use it to make the case for the FairTax.
