You mean we don't have room for both?

"fuss???" No fuss at all, Looey - except from your and your IRS-loving troll friends. Not so long as the rest of us have the FairTax ... you're welcome to continue paying the income tax.

that qualifies as the understatement of the year (if not the century) if you've "known" Looey for very many threads.

If you're a friend of Looey, you're indeed in deep doo-doo.

I don't like the IRS anymore than anyone else ... BUT I also find NOTHING fair about the fair tax. As far as "Lew" ... it's the first time I have seen him

The name "FairTax" is one that polled focus groups the AFFT organization used (before the name "FairTax") voted to CALL the tax after its detail were presented to them. It was not suggested by the AFFT group (which then changed the name to AFFT matching the chosen name).

I think it is fair in the sense that all taxpayers pay the tax at the same rate - that's decidedly faireer than what we now have. Over and above the name, though, the FairTax has many evonomic benefits for the country's economy and its taxpayers.

You might find it helpful to read the bill and spend some time on the AFFT website seeing what it's all about. Or buy (or get from a library) The FairTax Book.

With respect to Lewis, there are none so blind as those who refuse to see.......

The tax system is not the problem.

The problem is the need to raise $2.77 trillion/year, and fund 60 trillion dollars of unfunded liability.

The attempt to reduce spending by cutting taxes, which was a good idea in 1978, is a failure, and a corrupt failure at that.

If the People won't cut spending, and cut it by a lot, massive tax increases are inevitable.

Lewis,

Your post suggested that if we don't tax corps, we'll inflict a huge burden on individuals. NONSENSE. BUNCOMBE. CODSWALLOP.

Individuals currently bear the full burden, it is simply hidden from view. Removing the burden from corporations will not result in an increased burden on individuals, but it will result in greater economic opportunity for all.

Gee I didn't know the corporate taxes for Microsoft and Toyota along with the taxes for the baker were included in the price of bread now like there would be with your phoney sales tax.
but it will result in greater economic opportunity for all.
How does increasing the price of everything I purchase to pay for more money in government handouts create greater opportunity for me again?

The only folk claiming "... increasing the price of everything ..." are those unalterably opposed to the FairTax because they have their own little bene package all carved out under the present system and are afraid it will go bye-bye.

Lewis,

The FairTax levels the international playing field. A fully border-adjustable tax such as the FairTax will increase the return on investment for capital employed on our shores, thereby providing tremendous incentive to invest and employ here. Moreover, provisions in the FairTax make it advantageous to reverse previous corporate inversions.

For a discussion of border-adjustability and the "pernicious fiction" used to deny the US CNI border-adjustability, please see "End This Damaging Tax and Trade Charade" found here: http://www.iie.com/publications/opeds/oped.cfm?ResearchID=197

Accurate statement. And yes, it IS time for a revolution, but no one is listening.

I wouldn't say that.

Bring out the guillotines

I thought we all agreed on gallows?!

Variety is the spice of life. Note, however, that the bayonetting of enemy prisoners who have committed atrocities may be a helpful preventative measure, and constitutes good training for those rookies who have previously had little bloodletting experience.

This is one reason why domestic traitors fear rifles with bayonet lugs in the hands of the populace.

Abolish the IRS and send all of the IRS employees to work securing the border and hunting for OBL. Anyone remember that guy? I thought someone was looking for him....but I must be wrong.

Nothing like giving treasonous scum the sharp end of some cold steel. Speaking of which, I love my Cold Steel tantos. Indestructible and oh so sharp. Handles as if they have a life of their own.
