I would be willing to bet that none of them have started a significant number of threads for their own proposals or alternatives to the current system, nor do they have even 10% the number of posts advocating and promoting their preferred alternative.

I personally don't think there is any way to find a harmless, unobtrusive, enforceable, painless, fair and proper way for the government to take as much money out of the economy as they currently need. I think it can't be done and that they problem is mainly spending. Certainly any tax reform that has a snowball's chance of getting passed is going to have to pass along lots of goodies to the liberals, with disastrous effect.

Once we whittle the government down to a manageable and Constitutionally correct size, then we can discuss ways of fixing the collection method. Maybe we could just hold quarterly telethons at that point.

So, your argument against at least some of those of us who understand that the FairTax is a flawed Free Lunch scheme that we offer no alternative is incorrect. Speaking for myself I just don't offer pixie dust solutions like ya'll do.

From your comments in post #1

The supporters commonly mis-represent the truth in order to bring people on board with the FairTax idea. It is hurting the effort at real reform by selling people a Free Lunch pipedream.

From your post that I am replying to:

Ya, ya. We lie cheat and steal. Never mind that everything you protest is spelled out very clearly on the FairTax website.

So what is your solution? The only thing I've heard from you is privatize SS, end corporate taxation and halt gov't spending. Do you mind telling us how? What is the HR number of the legislation? Who are the sponsors?

Talk about pixie dust. This stuff is watered down pixie dust.
