We won’t have a fair tax system until everyone pays. The Earned Incme Tax Credit allows “the poor” (including illegals) to get payment from the taxpayers, another welfare hand out. Mexicans can have it sent to “nieces” and “nephews” in Mexico, who may be fictitious. EITC payments amount to hundreds of millions dollars in fraud every year and should be eliminated in any new tax bill.
Fair is not the point.
Revenue is.
The Fair Tax seems like a good idea - tax consumption rather than achievement (income).
Though I can’t wait to see its unintended consequences. But I doubt they will be any worse than they are for income taxes. The IRS certainly won’t be going away as some might have hoped.
