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.
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.

You could. However that is not what HR 25 does, quite the contrary.

Once again you hope to raise the strawman and demonstrate your repeated MO.
