I do answer direct questions, And I give correct answers. Your problem is those aren't the answers you expect in the fantasy "flat tax debate" you have in your head where you overwhelm all challengers with brilliant wit and faultless logic. In real life, people ask pointed questions that you don't have good answers to.

Since you love the flat tax so much. you can go to the threads running now about Maine's proposed $2 a pack cigarette tax. That is a type of the exact "consumption tax" you propose. You can tell the smokers in those posts what a great deal the flat tax is.

Putting the flat tax in place all all items - with some exemptions - will always result in the same unfair treatment. Your promises that it won't always melt when scrutinized. Although, in your mind, you are a great and wise proponent of a cause that will slay your enemies with its overwhelming force.

Please read the bill so you can discuss it with some correct information.

You really do need to stay away from the keyboard when you are off your meds. You can't even tell the difference between the flat tax proposals that really change nothing about the staus quo and the FairTax which revolutionizes this nation.

There is also a huge difference between an additional 'sin tax' like those on cigarettes and a replacement tax such as the FairTax which returns control to the people.

And NO!, you do not answer direct questions because you are entirely incapable of honesty and common sense.
