That's ridiculous. No one understands the rule book and the rules are a moving target. Besides that, the rules are changed each year.
And what innuendo and insinuations do I keep throwing out? That you're a life insurance salesman? I'm sorry, maybe you sell little income tax kits, I don't know. I can't for the life of me see any rational argument against the fair tax. None of the SQL's here have ever offered an alternative except the occasional flat tax, which we already have, or a VAT which is eating Europe from the inside.
If you guys have no alternative, no plan of your own, then your attacks on the fair tax can only be construed as job protection.
Flatten a cowpie, and it's still a cowpie....and it still stinks to high heaven. The income tax is a loser.You obvious are ignorant of the Flat Tax, too. It doesn't tax income - it taxes consumption.
The Flat Income Tax is a complete political nonstarter.LOL! Unlike the FairTax....
The major rules are not that difficult to understand. Sure maybe there is some arcane stuff in there but for the most part it's pretty easy. I use TurboTax each year and I just fill in the blanks it tells me. Takes a couple of hours but I keep my record organized throughout the year, I have a file called Current Year taxes and when something comes in, it goes in the folder. At tax time it is all there. Do you have a similar system, groanup? It might help you figure all this out.
Besides that, the rules are changed each year.
Don't you think CHANGE, even radical change, is a good thing? You sure sould like you embrace change with every fiber of your being. You like change so much that you want to change the entire game in fact.
And what innuendo and insinuations do I keep throwing out?
Come on, you know? The ones where you state that we are all evilly profiting from the present system. It's a tired old form of argument but you keep throwing mud against the wall.
There is nothing you can do about politicians being elected to make laws subject to the desires of those that elected them. You FairTaxers don't get to pass some sort of super-laws that never again get to be tampered with.How soon after the FairTax was implemented would it be before some little girl dies because her parents couldn't afford the FairTax on her life saving surgery and then you would have a unanimous vote the next week to exempt life saving surgery from the FairTax. And then preemptive health care. And then...
Of course, they will find all sorts of exemptions. The actual tax on legitimate above the board non-exempt transactions will be 50% and they'll re-enact the emergency income tax on rich people earning more than $50,000 per year, say a flat 20% or so.
Yep, we'll end up with the worst of both worlds.
Okay, I'll concede. Rob LIKES the income tax, would like taxes to be lower, but otherwise embraces this creature. At least you're honest about it.
BTW, my system is much more efficient than yours and I don't even have to waste money on Turbo Tax. LOL. We PAY money to figure out how to PAY money to Uncle Sam. Gotta love it.
Oops, sorry, you DO love it.
what a hell of a sad way to go through life, being a legend in your own mind, and becoming obsessed with selling snake oil.
Yeah, it obviously bothered you and Rob a lot more than it did YNYou're right, we should have followed his lead and just cast it off as just another example of your ongoing idiocy.
Sometimes snake oil has value. Your Kool-aide never does.
There you have it folks. The above sentence consists of about 99% of the anti fair taxers arguments.
That argument being: 'everybody but me is an idiot'.
I don't even have to waste money on Turbo Tax. LOL. We PAY money to figure out how to PAY money to Uncle Sam. Gotta love it.Oh yea, Turbo Tax, there goes all that "compliance cost" BS.
Some people choose to pay for all kinds of time saving ideas and others of you just don't know how to follow simple instructions.
Paying for tax prep software is almost as stupid as paying someone to purchase your investments.
(other than your ad hominem ad nauseum)
And here we have more. Again folks, the anti's religiously call the fair taxers "stupid", "fanatical", "cultish". I leave it to the audience to decide who the shrill ones are.
You just don't pay attention to the arguments since you don't understand them obviously.
That argument being: 'everybody but me is an idiot'.
No, we're mainly just pointing out that the FairTax true believer are incongruent and make stuff up. Not everyone else is an idiot.
Golly.
I disagree with this, I think Turbi Tax is well worth the $35-40 a year.
