[Always Right]

Does the thought of the the dismantlement of the IRS, and the destruction of its multitude of files on individual Americans (all of which occurs immediately upon the enactment of the FairTax) warm the cockles of your heart?

Have you read the bill? What is the first thing the bill does? Makes the Consumer (read individual) liable for the tax. It relieves the consumer the liability only if they get an offical receipt from a registered retailer with seven pieces of specific information about the purchase. If the Collection agency thinks you owe tax, they can audit you. So even under this proclaimed freedom, you better well keep every receipt of every penny you spend. So no, it really does not warm the crockles of my heart.

Your #811 is one of your most disingenuous posts yet...and that's saying something.

No, they can't Rongie. There is no provision in the bill for that sort of nonsense. There would first have to be shown some legal basis that the taxpayer was involved in some activity outside of the law before he could be hauled into court.

The taxpayer (the consumer) has far more legal protection - and legal rights - under the FairTax than under the present tax system.
