From the freepmail I receive frequently on FairTax threads, you are the one that lacks credibility and is viewed as full of hate. People can’t stand to read your asinine comments and they resent your interruptions when they are posting among themselves. They ignore you because you are incorrigible and your attitude stinks.
The paragraph you called out was part of a discussion with legislative analysts. It is anything but bizarre. What is bizarre is your attacks on the FairTax and your lack of attacks on the insane Income tax.
The fact is the FairTax will be tested in selected states and when the results come in there will be a transition period allowing states to collect taxes by whatever legal means they choose. The 16th Amendment is a power reserved to the federal government, not necessarily to state governments. When it is repealed, states can still choose to impose a state income tax. And as they transition to the FairTax, they may have to collect taxes in the interim for the federal government in the form of an income tax. For example, Oregon has no sales tax. It has only an income tax.
Go ahead and continue observing other’s discussions and casting your idiotic snipes at their comments. When the shoe is on the other foot, we will see how you like it punk.
No telling how many FairTax converts there are due to his efforts alone.
