Agreed it would be great to get the gov out of my business. No one seems to be able to explain to me why it is fair to give the gov another shot at my money.
Not clear why no one on this thread has got my point. I do write simple declarative english sentences. 1) I already paid taxes on what I have saved. 2) Now you propose a sales tax to tax AGAIN what I have worked so hard to put away? 3) I am not a fan of the IRS/income taxes, but is it fair to tax people like me AGAIN?
You missed the point made that you already pay the taxed costs of anything you buy.
These taxation costs are built into everything we purchase ~now~..
-- Thus, you won't be taxed any more under the 'fair tax' scheme then you are now.
If the scheme works, overall taxation would be less than now. ---- And we would regain a private financial life, free of the IRS.

A number of us here have explained to you that the feds are NOT getting another 'shot'.
Apparently you can't understand our "simple declarative english sentences".
Don't worry, it's a quite typical reaction at FR, - whenever facts interfere with emotion.
