The full enactment may leave individual states with a choice, pay X amount of federal taxes and we don’t care how you choose to do it as long as it is lawful (Constitutional).

Is it lawful to require states to pay federal taxes in the way Hostage suggests? (I'm not sure exactly what he is suggesting)

Historically, the central government was once supported by money contributed by the states, however it was truly voluntary, and as one might expect, it didn't work out.

I think in his mind he isn't suggesting anything. I think he thinks it's a done deal that they are going to test the Fairtax in a few states.

So I guess the federal income tax code would be suspended/repealed for those states and anyone working in those states wouldn't have any deductions and somehow everyone selling anything in those states would, as if by miracle, be able to reduce their prices ( per the Fairtax mindset/mantra)

Bizarre huh?
