Hey, if you wanna defend one of the planks of the Communist Manifesto, and attack the only plan that makes sense politically, economically and in terms of freedom, that's your lookout.
Just don't expect to make many friends with that position, and prepare yourself to lose eventually.
Karl Marx also got haircuts, does the fact that you get haircuts make you a Communist?
That's a BS argument. It's the taxation and the progressivity of it that is contained in the CM. The Fair Tax is every bit as progressive and it throws the proles a big ol' prebate check every month from Daddy Sam. This argument won't hunt.
The fact that we have a progressive income tax doesn't make the US a Communist society. Are you saying that we are Communist?
I guess you are out of real arguments about the problems with the FairTax and the fact that they are admitting that they mis-represented the plan as a "boost your purchasing power" scheme for how many years?
