[Your Nightmare]

Well done.

I think it's important that people know that their state and local governments will be paying much money to the federal government under the FairTax. It's estimated that they would pay ~$350 billion in FairTax. Of course, a government can't pay a tax anymore that a business can - they both just pass it on to individuals. In this case it's the taxpayers. The will see their state and local taxes go up.

A grossly mis-analyzed piece of work, Nightie.

As you know, the government "taxes itself" at present (come to think of it, maybe you DON'T know that since you miss so many other important points).

This idiocy of your is quite meaningless and I won't bother to post the rebuttal that shows this for the red herring it is unless you persist in this nonsense. To be considered on a comparable basis both the income-based tax and the FairTax must have the government "tax itself" since they now do.

There is no point whatsoever in doing otherwise but of course you like it since it distorts the base (unrealistically) in favor of the Status Quo you're working so hard to retain.
