I think that greater visibility of the tax burden is a good thing

Then you should support the only plan on the table that brings the entire tax burden out in the open, and to one place...the point of retail sale.

Nothing else even comes close.

If its support wasn't so covered in snake-oil, perhaps I might. Life's experience has shown me that when a sales pitch is full of BS and outrageous claims, I shouldn't buy.

It reminds me of a joke:

A woman married for the fourth time told her new husband to be gentle, she was still a virgin. He asked how that could be. She said her first husband died in an accident on the way from the church; her second was an older man, and had a heart attack before they got to it; the third was a FairTax fanatic who did nothing but sit by the side of her bed telling her how wonderful it was going to be.
