The tax collection method is not the problem. We currently collect the maximum amount of taxes 19% GDP. You could adopt the Fair Tax, the Flat tax, the representative tax, progressive tax, even a VAT tax but the truth is, you will only collect upto about 19% of GDP in taxes.

The problem is SPENDING.

The Fair Tax does not stop Congress from borrowing money which is their Constitutional authority. Therefore, the idea that the Fair Tax will somehow “starve” congress is FALSE.

What is needed is a limit on spending.
