You've got that right. The author is an idiot.

I can actually see both sides of this.

Sales taxes are regressive....and hurt those with lesser incomes far more than those higher up the economic scale.

[Le Seigneur De Porc]

The height of idiocy is to throw the bomb of a consumption tax into the middle of a consumption based economy, and then assume that all the previous economic models would remain in effect.

They wouldn't, and the idea of destroying the economy in order to try to get a tiny amount taxes out of gang bangers and pushers as well as to achieve the equality of impoverishment of the middle class is so loaded with stupid that its laughable.

Oh, dear, we haven't read and thoroughly digested the thread, so we begin the name calling. The best defense is an offense, right? Give me a break! At least give a valid reason to refute the message other than a nah nah nah nah nah nah.

[FreedomCalls]

The author is an idiot.

So the argument from the "fair tax" side is now reduced to name calling.
