You've had some good posts on this thread. I think it's valuable to do as you've done; argue the merits of a consumption tax on moral and ethical grounds, as opposed to getting dragged into minutia. The opponents of the FairTax always go into it's potential flaws with all sorts of calculations, usually without applying the same standard to the thousands of pages of current progressive income tax code.

Thanks, I really believe our tax system must change and that the NRST while not perfect is pretty darn good. It will be more efficient and fairer and take some of the power away from congress and lobbyists plus it will help the US compete globally. I do think some against the NRST are either misinformed or trying to find minute flaws in it, magnify them and sway those that don't take the time to really read the bill and its discussion by economists with more knowledge than I. regards rs
