Apparently there was not quite enough wierd humor in my post to get your attention, and you missed the two paragraphs where I was supportive of at least a test of the fair tax despite the sheer stupidity of having a fair tax passed by the congress, and an established income tax in the Constitution of the Unites States of America.
The one must be gotten rid of before the other will have any validity what so ever. I also contend that there are so many unanswered questions regarding the fair tax, that there are, at the moment, far more important issues at hand.
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha.
There ya go. A crap tax. Each house in these united states will be mandated to affix to each toilet in their homes a special scale that'll weigh the toilet before and after one takes a dump. The tax will be by the pound. Of course there'll be toilet bowl evaders. These will be the people who'll be sh*tting in the woods. so those friendly people at the IRS will have to form a special agency to track down these crap-tax evaders. They'll start following people around and if anyone should venture off into the woods...........well you get the picture.
