Arguing for the retention of any sort of income tax is just another way of defending the status quo.
You seem to not understand that the income tax is a huge part of the problem and that it causes increased prices in everything we buy. That's a hidden tax and one your pay stub certainly does not show.
You're apparently not too familiar with the workings of the real IRS to say "... let the IRS to continue ...".
The FairTax will start as revenue neutral but how the tax is collected is not only far simpler and much less expensive that the income tax, but it relieves all taxpayers from direct accountability to the IRS. That's a huge difference.
I believe we will also quickly see the tax rate reduced with the FairTax due to the economic growth it brings about.

I've not argued for the status quo. In fact, the elimination of witholding would have profound consequences.

Do you really believe that I don't understand that?
"You're apparently not too familiar with the workings of the real IRS to say "... let the IRS to continue ..."."
Actually, it took a bit over two years to solve my last issue with the IRS.

As I've said before, one should alwasy remember that the income tax was touted as an temporary measure to fund WWI, would never exceed 2%, and would only apply to the richest 5 per cent. If the hedious monster we have now evolved from this small beginning, how can you be sure that the NRST won't also evolve?
