If you look around the world a bit, there is no example of a "fairtax" scheme working for more than a year or two ...

That could be because it's never been done.

Flat Taxation neither rewards or punishes, it it simply the reasonable cost of day-to-day life, security, and non-interference in the affairs of business.

Why is the flat tax different in these respects than the income tax we have? If the flat income tax neither rewards or punishes then does the income tax we have? Does the nrst? You're a little loopy here.

And why do you oppose an imaginary foe? What you imagine is, well, your imagination. Silly, really, reading posts like this.

Aren't you the one who opposed the nrst due to a lack of a transitional credit on embedded tax on inventory held at changeover? Then you read section 902- "Transitional Credit". I suppose you imagined the problem and failed to look at the nrst to see that problem is addressed. Some imagination you got.

And probably for good reason - but you're wrong, Every VAT started as a simple "sales tax" - everywhere.

Nice bit of pretzel logic here, wtf are you talking about?

Imaginary? is your 1040 imaginary?

The rest is even worthy of a reply.
