what the heck.
www.fairtax.org. You should read THE FAIRTAX BOOK by John Linder and Neal Boortz. In it they explain how and why, under the income tax all taxes are paid by consumers. It also explains "what the heck" the meaning of tax inclusive and tax exclusive mean and how they are used. If you honestly want to understand the FairTax, you will succeed if you put forth the effort.
i fully understand how tax inclusive/exclusive work. i've been a follower of fairtax in the past, and have studied it on and off for 2 years. what i've found is a lot of intellectual dishonesty and risky/misleading assumptions.
make it clear for the common-man (name one state that applies their sales tax the way fairtax proposes the feds do it) and stop promising the world and i'd consider jumping back on board.
yes, i think the current system needs overhauled (understatement) but i'm no longer 100% on board with the 'fair'tax doublespeak.
