Closet Libs? I don’t think so... There are a Fair number of us out here who believe the current system is grossly unfair, and unfairly manipulated by those with the wealth to buy the requisite advice and defend the result as needed. There are those of us who are sick and tired of the capricious nature of the fraternity that is our elected (and appointed) government(s). There are those of us who believe that the Fair Tax would be a breath of fresh air in this stale, cigar-smoke filled gambling house that is our current income tax system. There are those of us who see some ‘justice’ in bringing the ‘shadow’ economy (criminal) into the sphere of paying at least a semblance of their fair share.
And, there are those among us who believe a system such as this could help to re-make the US as a net exporter to the world, rather than the net importer we’ve become as a result of the uneven international playing field on which we are forced to compete.
Nope...not closet liberals. Merely solid conservatives with a firm belief that, if we must be taxed, then we should be taxed on consumption, not income.

Ironic, since the income tax is one of the planks of the Communist Manifesto.

And it doesn't matter how flat it is. It's still anathema to American liberty.
