Folks, you can try to justify any way you want. However, in all cases the answer is more freedom, not less. The answer is not to levy more taxes in order to be 'fair'. The answer is to levy less taxes. The answer is to not levy taxes against an organization of individuals as a fee to exercise their 1st Amendment rights to free speech which especially includes political speech. We should always be wary of any person wanting to regulate political speech in any way. The problem cannot be solved by less freedom whether that freedom be economic, relgious, political, or of any other stripe. More taxes and less freedom will never fix anything.

More taxes is not at all what is being advocated with the FairTax. You should find out more about it since you seem to think it is, somehow, "more taxes".
It isn't and would allow far more personal freedom than we now have as well as economic benefits to almost all taxpayers. It would end all the foolish attempts my government in attempting to control through income taxation.
