Yes, but you see, often those who are opposing the fair tax claim that the embedded taxes are a mere fraction of the 23% claimed by fair tax supporters. So by their argument, the drug dealers would be paying MORE in taxes than they are now.
No,thats not what Boortz says-the 23% embedded tax on new purchases now paid by the retailer will be offset by the the buyer WITH NO CHANGE IN TOTAL PRICE
Their claim is under the Fair Tax Plan is these people will now pay more taxes
How could they pay more in taxes if they believe the 23% is a fraction of the 23% enbedded tax
If they believe it will be more than 23% than all taxes will move up to that level and everyone will be paying more,not just the underworld.
