We've never before had a tax scheme that hit every voter and hit the super-majority of voters hardest.

Except the current one.

Ah ... but roggie ... the current system, when rates are raised, hits only those selected by Congress to be hit. It is used as a weapon intentionally.

That's one of the great benefits of the FairTax. It does not succumb to that sort of manipulation by political mischief and treats all the same from the rate standpoint.

What country are you from ???

96.4% of income taxes are paid by 50% of the people. The other 3.6% of the Federal tab is picked up by the other half. 35% of the tab is picked up by the top 10%. How does that constitute a super-majority that gets hit hardest ?
