Its fascinating the same people opposed to paying less in taxes want to keep the IRS around.
Where is that written? The Fairtax is revenue neutral. The only ones paying less tax would be corporations and businesses not dealing in retail sales. My service business, hence my customers would be paying MORE not less tax.
Well if we drop the fictitious pretense corporations and businesses pay taxes, why wouldn't we not see them pass on the savings to their customers? Every one knows individuals pay taxes. That's the problem with the economic illiteracy in this country - people like to think some rich imaginary corporation will foot the bill, not them. The FairTax is revenue neutral since in the real world, the politicians are not going to give us back everything we'd like. So its understandable there are trade-offs.
