The post you were replying to was #204 and nowhere do I see any of the meaning you say is in the second paragraph.
Perhaps you were referring to some other post number or perhaps you'd post the quote in question that you attack? I'm not about to guess at which one you might mean.
Having asked you for which specific post/paragraph you were referring to, I'd note that indeed the FairTax does away with S/S & M/C taxes funding them instead from the FairTax revenue. There is no more withhoklding from the payroll for either income tax or the entitlement.
Whoever said that the FairTax was "... going to catch drug pushers and thieves and shop lifters and illegal aliens and everyone in the underground community and well, just EVERYONE, BAR NONE in its web too? ROTFLMSO"?
What was said was not that they would be "caught" at all (or that there was any "web") but that they would pay the FairTax on taxable items when they bought things at retail. And that, you see, is quite true, whereas most of those in the illegal economy pay very little or nothing in the was of tax revenue.
Are you arguing that those in the illegal economy now DO pay lots of tax revenue??? Perhaps it is you who need to read what you post before posting it as quite a few of the things you post don't seem well thought out.
My choice would be the flat tax. From what I understand it's working great in Russia. Armey and Forbes(?) are for it. Who are the big guns behind the 'fair tax'?
Let's just leave it at the fact that you have only the smallest of small view of what's what and leave it at that.
