That's just what the "Fair Tax" was missing! The endorsement of liberal arts professors!

The "Fair Tax" is an attempt to define the perfect tax, yet it has its own imperfections. For instance it claims to allow no exemptions from the federal sales tax, yet used items are exempted and religious items sold by religious organizations would also have to be exempted. Also, like the present taxes it would heap the majority of taxes on the middle class. I my opinion it has too many flaws to have a chance of being passed. People, I think, would make better use of their time supporting other tax reforms that have a good chance of being passed.
