Still trying to figure out why you cheerlead for keeping the IRS on all these threads.
1. Because I build homes and under this bill my prices go up significantly and new homes will be at a huge competitive disadvantage with existing homes.
2. The arguments presented by fairtaxers are very misleading at best, as Boortz himself finally admits on this major point.
3. I really don't see the great advantage of switching from one 800-lb gorilla to another 800-lb gorilla. It may start out looking nice and friendly, but when the gorilla gets hungry its just as ugly. The freedoms promise under this bill are a house of cards.
Why do fair tax supporters claim it is like a sales tax then quote a rate and method of computing the tax that is radicaly different than any current sales tax.
If it was like a sale tax then the tax on a 100.00 item would be 22.00 not the 29.xx that the fair tax method requires.
