Is there a debate in the economic community. - YES
75 Economists signed a letter in favor.
How does that stack up in your mind?
Why would so many be in favor of such a system?
I assume you prefer the Flat Tax is that Correct.
Do you like the Stev Forbes plan at 17% with a $40,000 exemption and keeping the 7.65% payroll tax on top of that??
Or do you like the VAT better??

Or do you like the VAT better??A VAT would be better than the FairTax.
Point of note for you, mb, Nightie will flip-flop on whatever his "preferred" tax play might be between Flat and VAT depending upon which better suits his arguments du jour.
Usually, he proclaims he enjoys a non-specific (so he can't be pinned down) version of the Flat tax, but most of us now know that he really supports the Nightmare Flat (or Nightmare VAT) - which of course does not exist in the real world.
You'll no doubt spot the techinque.
