You cannot make that claim since you have never supported any specific flavor of flat tax - and still don't to my knowledge ... or are you now switching your position again?

Nor can make a definitive statement that a wage tax taxes less income than the FairTax since the FairTax does not tax any income at all - only consumption. Your original point was that the flat tax (unknown which one, of course in keeping with your devious tradition) was "... just a wage tax anyway ...". My point is that it cannot be just that unles all taxation of other types of income is done away with. Show us how whatever bill you support does this - and DON'T give us a bill you do not support - or all possible bills; just the one you support.

And where do people get the money for consumption? Income. The FairTax just taxes income spent at retail (and a person doesn't necessarily consume everything they purchase at retail so it's no a pure consumption tax - but this is probably beyond your understanding).
