Fair Tax Ping!

I like it but I can't see the politicians and the Gucci lobbyists giving up their power to make our tax laws even more incomprehensible. That's why no one ever reads the IRS Code. No one can understand a word of it.

"Built-in taxes raise the price of everything you buy. Corporations simply pass the cost along to the consumer."


yeah, right

One thing not mentioned. Even illegals would have to pay the tax, but since they are undocumented, they wouldn't get the benefit of a prebate either. Poor bastards (not)...I guess the incentive to come here illegally just vanished. Fair Tax is the way to go.

taxes suck. I really feel bent over with no lunrication. I don't know how to make them stop hurting my backside... I vote for people who "say" they will do what I believe they will but do the exact opposite once they get into office further bending me over...

Sit down folks, Senator John Cornyn is now a co-sponsor to The FairTax Bill, S 25!

Built-in taxes raise the price of everything you buy. Corporations simply pass the cost along to the consumer. With those built-in taxes eliminated, prices will fall.

If we could only depend on the honesty of all business including corporations to pass along this reduction I would have more faith in the Fair Tax. I just have little faith that many business will pass the reduction along. Guess we have to give it a try.
