Maybe you should read up on the FairTax before you fly off the handle. Contrary to what this particular nay-sayer is spewing, the FairTax offers the best hope for significant tax reform.

A simple, transparent method of taxation. Items are taxed ONCE and you keep what you earn. Once the Feds are off the Income Tax teat, it will simply be a matter of time before we can kick the states off it too.

This means that the FairTax idea should have been discarded at the very beginning, for instead of saying that it was not fair that the government confiscate 10, 20, 30, or 40 percent of a man's income, the FairTax proponents did not even begin to tackle the root of the problem: the welfare/warfare state that drives the federal leviathan's insatiable lust for the taxpayer's money.

The author is too stupid to even know the difference between taxing and spending.

His screed just goes downhill from there.
