The expected response.. assume one hasn't read what he criticizes.
I have read HR 25. I have a PDF copy of it's last iteration. I do not need to read someone's book or website which misguides it's readers into buying a lemon. Despite the words of websites and books peddled by those looking to make a buck, the only words that matter are those in the proposed legislation.
"IOW what specifically do you consider to be so bad about it???"
Sorry.. I don't have the interest nor the time to engage you in a fruitless dialog about my objections. And since HR 25 hasn't a hope or a prayer of being passed as-is, the discussion would be even more pointless.

Hmmm, do ou have a link to your PDF copy on the web? I have only found summaries in PDFs on the web.
As far as the actual text of the bill, and all its prior introductions, those are readily found on Thomas (the Congressional website) in HTML form.
I haven't run across any PDF copies of the actual bill on the web myself, so I'm kinda curious about what you found and where.
It would be good to do a comparison see any differences from the original bills submitted to Congress, if any, and assure that PDF copy actually is what it purports to be.
The current introduction for the 109th Congress can be accessed here =>> http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c109:H.R.25:
Here are links to all the prior introductions, from which it is readily noticed there are very few changes indeed, and none of substance:
[108th] Fair Tax Act of 2003 (Introduced in House)[H.R.25]
[107th] Fair Tax Act of 2001 (Introduced in House)[H.R.2525]
[106th] Fair Tax Act of 2001 (Introduced in House)[H.R.2525]
[105th] Fair Tax Act of 2001 (Introduced in House)[H.R.2525]
