Sales tax proponents have tapped into seething voter hostility toward the Internal Revenue ServiceI wish that were true.

Abolishing the IRS and the income tax would eliminate a major tax burden on Americans. Its NOT a tax increase if you eliminate a plethora of federal taxes and replace it with ONE tax.

... many politicians shy away from it because it is easy for opponents to portray it as a huge tax increase -- as Democrats did in a 2006 Senate race in South Carolina. Of course they did -- any lie will do to hang on to that power to control people's lives.

" Tax professionals generally regard the idea as impractical, regressive and even "crackpot," as one critic puts it..."
They are right! On this tax the poorer you are the worse it hurts.

This is the Fair Tax advocated for a long time by Neal Boortz. This article is a hit piece, because it completely miscontrues the Fair Tax and omits the offsets from eliminating the Income Tax and FICA.
To: Alex Murphy
So Huckabee wants to raise my taxes....substantially.Please,please God let some reporter get a picture of this clown in bed with some....well,I'll stop here so I don't get banned.
Some say that Romney "must be stopped".It's this clown who must be stopped.

How about we institute the fair tax and eliminate, inter alia, the Huckster?

Once the fair tax would be implented, all other federal taxes would cease. The LA times failed to mention the prebates.
I cannot believe that people here on FR would take an analysis by the LA slimes at face value.

Its true. I defy you to find me ONE person in the United States who likes our complicated federal income tax code and the agency that administers it.

Mike Huckabee, one of the most conservative Republicans in the 2008 presidential race ... Why would anyone bother quoting a "news" service that publishes such BS?

It would grind to a halt not because a sales tax like that could not work...but because it would simply be an additional tax and nothing else would go away. Its simply this...thegovernment folks who are there for ever, it seems, would simply speand mor ethan they already do and make our future worse than it already is.

I just realized this ‘fair tax’ business is big ‘screw’ time for me. I recently retired and pay nearly nothing in fed taxes anymore. Nothing. It’s a secret/good planning.
So this tax is a major screwing for me.
To: Alex Murphy
I have no intention of voting for Mike Huckabee in the republican primary (FredHead here) but I have been FULLY on board with the tax proposal Huckabee is touting for YEARS now. Passage of the FairTax would represent the greatest transfer of power from Washington back to the people in the history of this nation!
You can read all about the proposal at the Americans for Fair Taxation website.

The Left likes the income tax because they can manipulate social behavior and impose hidden tax increases on the American people through the simple means of withholding tax due from their paychecks.

Gee whiz people... read!
a plan to abolish all federal income and payroll taxes and...
Don't be such a lemming. This is the LA Times trying to make you think it's a new 23% tax - it's not. And while we're here, forget the money for a moment. The Fair Tax would completely strip the congress of the ability to enact the kind of social engineering we Freepers (are supposed to ) despise. At least TRY to get a clue...
