Why in the world would you need a computer to calculate something as simple as what you claim the FairTax to be?

Most understand that computers today record auditable transactions. Bank deposits are easily compared with auditable data for enforcement purposes.
Large amd medium level retailers conduct the bulk of their business electronically. Smaller businesses can still be audited by hand but the larger and mid-level retailers must be in compliance else the system breaks down.
In the past before the telecommunications revolution an audit of large retailer transactions would have expended too many resources.
I really don’t want you posting to me as you have gone over the top in your insinuations of my statements. I find them very disturbing. Ask others these questions as I don’t want to be reminded of your previous posts. Your questions are sophomoric in nature and can be handled by any number of posters on these threads. Besides everyone knows your questions are not questions per se, they are sniping comments packaged in questions.
