Everyone reading the thread gets that.
THe maximum marginal rate is 23%. That's much lower than the income tax...flat or graduated.
The fair tax is simple and easy to comply with. The income tax - either flat or graduated - is arbitrary and nonsensical, confusing and very difficult to understand.
The fair tax is fair, treats all legal residents the same. As for illegals, they always pay the maximum rate. THe income tax is obviously not viewed as fair by anyone.
Lower marginal rates, easy to understand, and fair.... the 3 components most affecting tax cheating.
It's also harder to get away with cheating under the fair tax.
But it's been amusing watching someone try to put forth the idea that the rate is too low b/c the calculation of rate did not take evasion into account. We all know it does - it expects the same amount of evasion as we're experiencing now.
Odd though at times the income tax fanatic marxist kool aid drinking income taxers swear up and down that the rate is too high... and later on the thread they swear up and down the rate is too low.
It's pretty funny to watch them melt.
They must be really worried about the end of their socialist tool. ANd some are worried that they'll actually have to start paying their fair share of our nation's tax burden.
The thing that scares them most is that the millions of people backing the nrst will not stop until the income tax is gone. It doesn't matter if it takes another 11 years - or 11 more. The number of people signing on is ever increasing.
Pass the kleenex to the socialists.
"Pass" it to them .... hell ... I'll sell it to them and charge the 23% tax inclusive rate to boot.
You may just have identified a whole new industry.
