I've read that piece of crap. They accuse the proponents of the Fair Tax of being deceptive and then make their case by taking every possible objection to the FT and driving it to its worst possible scenario. They use fear and deception. I guess I'm going to have to write a point by point refutation of that piece of garbage to post every time it pops up. At work now, dont have time.
No personal insult intended.
What objection(s) do you have, if any, with our founding father's original tax plan? It contains the necessary checks and balances necessary to control the actions of Congress, which the so called fair tax does not contain.
I would enjoy reading the refutation. I read the article too and although I believe it is fear-mongering it certainly makes some points that are based on real possibilities that need to be addressed.
A worthy project! Perhaps I can help you with it by pointing you to some GREAT source material. Rebuttal of the September 2004 Committee on Ways and Means minority staff report on the FairTax [pdf document]
You can also find many other such rebuttals, already written in PDF format, Here
