Even if 19% vs 23% was true which it "more likely" isn't, is a new (HIDDEN) 19% tax on states and localities...

What indicates that 19% isn't true?

Further, the tax is replacing taxes that already exist in nearly the same amounts. So the amount of tax remains nearly constant. In that sense, it's not new. It is only "new" in the sense that the bill would have passed more recently than the tax it replaces.

Honesty is the best policy lewis. That goes for paying your share of the income/payroll tax burden too.

What indicates 23% isn't...not the bill.

LOL!

You'll have to learn to pay closer attention. This simple plan of A NEW tax ON government wages, salaries and benefits is apparently very confusing for you Fairtax clowns.

As the bill dictates, it would be a new tax ON government employee's wages, salaries and benefits. The "replacement" tax is the tax government employee's pay at checkout like the rest of us...
