Democrat party fails to elect anyone to Congress because they opposed the Fairtax and kept trying to change it.
Union membership drops to less than 1% because Union leadership runs the Democrat Party.Joe Morecraft III and Walter Williams start a movement to replace the Fairtax with the head tax. No one listens or cares about the head tax, except for Rush Limbaugh who jumps on board. Rush's accuracy rating is lowered another 5 points.
Every Evangelical pastor, conservative leader and Republican candidate claims he was for the Fairtax when the Fairtax wasn't cool.
Christian tithing increases because people now have 22.65% to 34.65% more spending money in their paychecks. Church would then have more resources to spread the Word of God. The beginning of the largest and longest Revival occurs.
Resurgence in Christians Hospitals occurs, driven by the increase in church revenues, Christian thrift, and Evangelist community outreach both at home and abroad. Americans Christians become known worldwide for Christian Medical missions.
The study of Latin and Greek reappears in American as a part of a normal private school K-12 education. A restoration of Puritan values sweeps America as communities began devote their lives to promoting Crown Rights of King Jesus.
The Family meal time is restored because people want to save money, work at home, home school, or sends their children to private neighborhood schools.
The number abortions drop because women and families get more money in their prebate checks for each child in the family.
Pro Life supporters’ demand the Fairtax prebate starts at the point of conception and the limit on children in a family be removed. Abortion becomes obsolete and is banned.
Pastors under the Fairtax can say anything they want from the pulpit without fear of losing a tax exempt status, including endorsing candidates and political parties.
Membership in the Democrat Party or in a union is consider Satanic by most churches, and preached against in the pulpits of Evangelical Churches.
Almost every Bible Believing Church has a K-12 school they support or run.
Americans learn the value of saving money and demand Congress and state legislators cut spending.
Elected officials now have twice as much time to address the spending side of government because the Fairtax, which has become the Third Rail of politics, can not be touched. The Sixth Amendment becomes obsolete and no longer talked about.
One half of the lobbyist in Washington and in every state capital lose their jobs and go home and look for real jobs because there is no tax code to play with.
Local and state property taxes are eliminated from the American society, because the Fairtax is a broader base sales tax then any current state sales tax, and it can replace both property and income tax systems at the same percentage rate of most current state sales tax.
The United Nations is kicked out of the United States. The League of Fairtax Nations takes over the building. Nations must have a Fairtax and an American Bill of rights to join the new League of Fairtax Nations.
Home schooling and the number of private schools increase because education is consider an investment and not tax under the Fairtax.
The money spent on government schools is rolled into the state prebates checks because Americans began to despise socialism. Government schools become obsolete and Teachers Colleges go out of business across America. John Dewy spins faster in Hell.
Economy
Personal debt is no longer the number one marketed product in America. Most people have access to their prebate through a Debt card, and use it only in emergencies, automatically transferring excess money over to a mutual funded each month.
The average person who starts work at 15 years of age can retire by 35 years of age, with or without a college degree. Most college graduates go back to school by age 30 and have two or three different professional careers in their lifetime.
Everyone who wants a job has a job. The economy is booming!
Corporations are moving their headquarters and manufacturing back to the USA!
American products, for the first time in history, are shipped out of the country tax free.
American products, for the first time in nearly 100 years, have equal or better advantage in the American market place. Currently, idiots run the country.
We get to keep 100% of our paycheck! Currently, idiots run the country.
Social Security is on stable footing for the first time in years! It eventually becomes an obsolete government program no longer wanted or needed.
Medicare is paying its own way and is no longer in danger of default! It eventually becomes an obsolete government program no longer wanted or needed.
The Corporate taxes and costs of compliance hidden in both wholesale and retail prices no longer exist! Even with the Fairtax prices are nearly the same as before the Fairtax.
We love our monthly prebate check! The lower income people pay no taxes because of this and the rest of us get a free ride up to the amount of the poverty level!
This means we can save more, faster and have more money available for education, home ownership and retirement!
We don’t have to fill out those stupid IRS forms anymore! We save a total of $250 billion or more (about 3% of the GDP).
The government wins too! They get the same amount of revenue they are used to getting! Currently, idiots run the country and want to keep the seesaw tax reform debate going and do not support the Fairtax. The Fairtax is not tax reform, it is tax replacement.
And guess who has to start paying taxes for the first time in their lives? Illegals, prostitutes, drug dealers, the porn industry, criminals, plus all of the other under-the-table transactions that take place! Currently, idiots run the country
The IRS and the tax code is eliminated, except as punishment for those who try and cheat on the Fairtax,. It is later ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court because it is deem cruel and unusually punishment.

I'm sorry I don't recall seeing you on these FT threads over the years. I'm not sure how designating the opposition reduces credibility. One thing is sure, whenever the anti's are asked why they believe sticking with the income tax would be better for America than switching to the FT, for the most part, they clam up or twist the question around in a mega spin.
There are not just two choices here, despite the fact you want there to be. Labeling the “antis” in an either you agree with us or you love the IRS light is a tad disingenuous.
That will last until one business person (who does understand business) lowers his price, passing on his tax savings to the consumer.
exactly. The government decides how much the “peoples” need. The government decides how much they SHOULD be spending. The government decides the base needs. The goverment decides who can pay more.
to each according to their needs, from each according to their abilities.
Prebate is communism.
From the spleen ejaculated by the anti's one can hardly be disingenuous by simply asking why they feel that the income tax would be better for America than the Fair Tax. Nothing could be more obvious than such a preference when one hears words like "fairy tax" and "fair tax cult" over and over.
Aside from FICA and other things, they also do state sales tax. A small modification to their accounting software, will print out two checks every quarter; one the the state, and one to fedgov.
Big whoop.
I think if you'll read your Karl Marx you'll see that he mentions a progressive income tax and a tax on generational transfer of wealth as two mainstays of communism.
nonsense, the same games and debates as to what is or is not taxed will happen again and the middle class will be screwed again.
So far the Fair Sales Tax snake oil crowd is just digging a deeper and deeper abyss.
I disagree with the prebate in and on principle. It is an unfortunate necessity with our political situation in the past, present, and future. The libs would go bonkers and unleash relentless attacks about taxing the formula for a single mothers baby and the such.
Also, it is a far better solution to said problem than creating a list of exempt products. It is better to have no exemptions. The exemption fights would be long, hard, and crazy. And the exemption list would grow and grow and grow, and the associated lobbying to get a product exempted would rival if not surpass current tax legislation lobbying.
I remember several years ago in a state that I want to say was NJ, they had an exemption battle on sales taxes. The one that really stuck out in my mind was a huge argument over the exemption of toilet tissue and what constituted toilet tissue. Was it just roll toilet paper? Should expensive two ply quilted be exempt, or just basic single play ass scratcher paper be exempt? Do regular tissues count as toilet tisse and get exempt? How about baby wipes?
To avoid such nonsense battles and decrease the amount of and power of lobbying it is best to have no exemptions and suffer the prebate.
No, what will happen is businesses will stand their ground and the good ol' discount business will soon be out of business. People have a tendency to look at lower prices, discounted prices lacking in either quality or service.
We tried "discounting" some of our services to clients. Guess what??? Business actually declined. Instead of reverting back to our normal fee structure which was industry standard, we bumped it to industry plus 15%. Business became brisk thereafter and we exceeded our projected growth by 31%. Customers and clients can be strange in their purchasing practices. Why anyone would play $15K to 18K for a service you can get for $9.5K is beyond me.
BTW...over 80% of all businesses are small businesses. We are not your local Walmart. We don't offer "Everyday Low Prices."
just because the Fair Tax scam is a new bad idea does not mean should be allowed.
It is a scam pure and simple.
It only increases my business paperwork.
It makes my business burden far more than under the current system.
It gives me two monthly tax masters vs quarterly federal reports.
It destroys the retirement planning for my good employees.
No way no how will this be allowed into the my pockets, my business pockets, OR my employees pockets.
if double taxation is a problem now, consider when EVERY SINGLE raw material purchase is taxed along the production line.
A total and complete load of BS. No such taxation happens with the Fair Tax, other than the consumer paying the NRST at time of purchase of a new, retail good.

versus the current system where may business do not do that and a current system where retirement income is NOT double taxed.
keep you hands in your own wallet.
I guess when it becomes law you and your employees with just have to Jones Town yourselves.
In what way?
It only increases my business paperwork.
How?
It destroys the retirement planning for my good employees.
How?
This is almost as good as the thread titled: “My Prediction if Unicorns are Discovered” :p
Given the current status of the Fair Tax Scam PR, the Pope will become a scientologist first.
The fair (sales) taxers are just a derivative of the dominion of the illegal incometaxation or soveriegn citizen crowd.
Tommy Vu, “say you be rich buy my real estate book!”
sorry but your comment about sales just gave this vision of an infomercial sales pitch. thanks.
