Very well, you claim that the Fair Tax will add 29.87% tax on items already taxed by other agencies. -- "Tax on tax" as you put it.
I don't read the proposal that way, -- but if indeed it does do that, -- it will never pass as written.
Can you agree?
You two are both new to these discussions.
I suggest that rather than involve yourself with lewislynn and YourNightmare, that you just ignore them.
I'm not sure why they are devoted to preserving the current monstrosity, but I assume that it is for money -- one way or another.
$23 Million dollars have been spent on economic studies to make this proposal viable and realistic. But these two want you to believe that they have all of the answers and that there is something nefarious about the FairTax and it's proponents. I've not met anyone yet who is involved with promoting this plan who isn't intelligent, honest and trustworthy. Many of them are Freepers that you will see on other threads and will be on the same side of those issues as you and I are. I've never seen these two anywhere but on FairTax threads and with the intent to impugn the plan and it's proponents and their integrity by innuendo, snide remarks, and misrepresentation.
My tendency was to argue with them too until cooler and wiser showed me the error of my way. These 2 will not concede that there is anything redeeming about the plan. You'd think that an honest debater would find something worthwhile, but pointing out a major flaw or two. That they present this as evil incarnate tells me that their opposition is bought and paid for and that they are not honest enough to say so.
