And why do you believe that the "fair tax" wouldn't be added to the things you now claim are exempt?

What is exempt? the tax is being collected on the end product of all production. Established that way under the legislation proposed, I suggest you read it.

Once business is free of the tax burdens and costs and requirements of reporting income related data to govenment you figure they will quietly submit to being taxed again in the manner they are today. Think again.

I can go on and on....why haven't you thought of these queries before? :-)

I'm sure you could, fortunately your queries have already been vetted repeatedly over the last decade in addressing these issues from others. Now why are you just spouting old queries that have been dealt with in extreme detail literally hundreds of times in the past?

Can't you at least come up with something original?

The "fair tax" is neither fair, nor workable. Neither is it a panacea.

Why aren't screws taxed? They are a finished product. If a person bought screws for a home project, the screws would be subjected to the "fair tax". Are you telling me that a manufacturer wouldn't be taxed when the company bought screws? And you think that that's "FAIR"?

Likewise, if you are correct and the company won't have to pay a tax on the screws, then WHY should anyone have to?

Or, are you telling me that every piece of something that goes into an end product will be tabulated and taxed at the end, when the consumer buys it? If that is the case, then the consumer is still paying the same taxes today,than he /she is today, with the hidden taxes; perhaps more.
