In the case of going from a narrow income/payroll tax system to a broad retail sales tax system it certainly does.

That has to do with WHICH base, no the size of of it.

The tax base my blind friend is comprised of a much larger populationbase purchasing goods and services as opposed to the population base paying taxes on "taxable income" of the current system being replaced.

Once again you try divert from the essence to construct your strawman.

Oy.

I could only tax food. It would be a consumption tax and it would tax the ENTIRE population but the base would be much smaller than the FairTax base and the rate would be through the roof.
