The Democrats have said it a 23% extra tax on top of the income tax. What they fail to mention is that it would eliminate the income tax and every other federal tax. Its amazing how the tax and spend party has positioned itself as the champion of a system that raises money inefficiently and has resulted in the most bloated federal government we've had in the history of our nation. In truth the Fair Tax would lead to the opposite result.

So answer me this:

A family of four earns $40K/yr, gets a prebate to cover $26K HHS poverty level spending, and has mortgage interest not subject to FairTax of $14K per year. How much will they pay in taxes to support the Federal government that protects their lives and freedoms and that will provide them with SS/M benefits when they retire ?

My math says they’ll pay ZERO. So what incentive do they have to vote against even more government spending ?
