Does not the elimination of witholding give the power of boycott back to the people? This is a MAJOR influence on government!

There are 3 things you have to do to get there via 'fairtax':
Blind faith in politicians
Blind faith in politicians, and
Blind faith in politicians.
Just how brave are you?
Google around a bit on the flat tax - now being used by budding democracies around the world. Oh, and the the inconvenient fact that Japan (no small potatoes) vetoed a 'fairtax' plan (over 85% against), in favor of a Flat Tax plan that is to begin in 2010. - but they won't tell you that.

Does not the elimination of witholding give the power of boycott back to the people? The elimination of K-Street - the buildings full of lawyers and "associations" that spend millions of dollars on politicians to buy favors that are easily doled out through tweaks in the tax code. Want to sell your hot water heaters? Get congress to allow tax credits for it.
Wouldn't it be better to eliminate all of that crap? NO tax lobbyists, just a progressive consumption tax.
