If we ever get a "Fair Tax", I'm going to invest all of my money in gambling equipment, alcohol, narcotics and small loan operationg.
I saw Boortz on C-SPAN the other day and he was explaining how everybody would get a government check on the first of each month to reimburse them for the sales taxes that they would pay.
In his example be mentioned something like $400 per month for a family of four.
Oh, yes indeed. That all that we need. Hundreds of millions of people getting a government check on the first of every month. Any guesses as to what they will spend it on? Any? And how fast they will spend it?
Within six months there will be stores everywhere loaning them money against their next government check. Or next years'.
At least they'll know exactly where everybody is all the time.
"Within six months there will be stores everywhere loaning them money against their next government check. Or next years'."
Sounds like a pretty risky business to be in to me. Would you be interested in opening up a busines like that? If not, why do you think other people would?
Within six months there will be stores everywhere loaning them money against their next government check. Or next years'.
Last time I looked around, there already are plenty in that business already. Are we, for some reason that you see as a national priority, supposed to be concerned?
