"The fairtax crowd silence is deafening on this thread."
Hey, I'm for it!
The big problem I see with any tax of this type is that it would make it to obvious for people to see how much money they really pay in taxes.
Absolutely ... and that's one it the beauties of it. It should help to bring heat on Congress to reform their act and have people pay more attention on their actual taxburden - so long as the system is fair AND simple so it can be understood which qualifies the FairTax on both counts.
