Simply, why exactly are you against the Fair Tax ?
Do you favor another type of tax system , the current tax system , or do you think we will pay more under the Fair Tax ?

"Simply, why exactly are you against the Fair Tax ?"

Other than the fact that it will destroy the economy? That 23% isn't even close to revenue neutral? That people will cheat in droves? And that it does nothing to address the real problem -- out of control government spending?

Other than that, I can't think of one good reason.

"Do you favor another type of tax system"

If I were King? Cut spending to the point where government could be financed by tariffs and excise taxes. That way this country was funded for 150 years.
