It is a little condescending to think no one but you knows the true cost of government and only you know the way to show them though.

I never said I was the ONLY one that knew it, but I do know it, and most don't. As for methodology, you've yet to present a plan, yet alone a better plan.

So in your mind there is no other, never could be any other than the all fulfilling Fairtax? When frankly you don't really know that much about it.

I know a great deal about a flat sales tax. As you said 45 states have them. I also know you have offered no alternative ideas here. You have some points to make about the law proposed in the House, but you don't have any positive changes to make or alternatives. You have no ideas.

So you don't like HR25. OK, you're on record.

Can you show me the post where I said I wanted HR25 word for word? I said I wanted a flat sales tax.

He does the same thing to every poster. He attributes bogus arguments to you that you do not promote - then expects you to defend yourself against them. He's the strawman king.

I am like you in that I support a national retail sales tax - the leading proposal just happens to be hr25.

It is, by far, better than the income tax in every respect.
