If this is the way fair taxers think, you have to question everything they say.

One of my favs is Boortz claim that corporations "don't pay taxes" meaning they pass the cost of taxes on the consumers. Which is why all large corporations spend millions of dollars and great effort in their Tax Departments ... to reduce those taxes.

Boortz compounds his idiocy by telling his followers that if the National Sales Tax is implemented corporations will lower their prices ... since they won't have any income taxes to pay. Yeah, right.

You should reread the book. Working to reduce taxes is a way of being able to reduce product prices thereby making them more attractive. Or perhaps you think that continual price increases by one company while others hold their prices somehow works to the advantage of the company with continually-increasing prices?

With the FairTax companies will be able to reduce prices since some portion of income tax is embedded into the prices of things and cascades from level to level. to claim otherwise means you thing that taxes are "paid for" by no one and do not affect prices.

Just to clarify, are you saying corporations don't pass the cost of taxes on to the consumers?
