ANTI-FAIR TAXERS WOULD NATURALLY BE:

A. Life insurance and annuity salesmen. Whole Life and annuity products that have more fees for brokers than benenfits for clients are going to lose their tax status, which is one of the "selling points" that mis-informed hawkers of these products think will kill their business.

B. Tax software creators, salesmen, jobbers. Think about the industry around Turbo Tax and the like. No one can figure out the tax code and Turbo Tax does little to help.

C. IRS employees. What, 130,000? More than the FBI? What in the hell do we need them for? We just need a clerk for each state to tally the sales tax.

D. Home builders. In some convoluted way these people think that the tax code is necessary to keep their businesses afloat. Not all of them do but some. When these guys realize that the fair tax would create wealth that they need to sell their houses they'll get on board.

C. H&R Blockdom. The corner tax refund specialist. Nice guys. They make a fortune "loaning" you your own tax refund at exhorbidant interest rates.

D. K Street lawyers and their firms. These guys have lush, paneled offices all over D.C. where they ply their trades involving getting money from some interest and passing it on to congress to screw you and me in order to benefit some high dollar client.

I could go on and on. Which are you xdromedary?

Let me translate the multitude of (juvenile-sounding) words of the anti-FairTaxers on this thread:

"I support the Income Tax and the IRS code."
