Do you drive your car?
This is the problem with people..they are so ignorant/uneducated that they have no idea of what they are talking about. You pay taxes at ever level. Gas, Phone, even when you S)*T you pay a tax. FED TAX!
The fair tax would abolish all these taxes and this nation would go into the greatest economic boom ever seen in the history of mankind.
Its to bad that a creep like Huckabee is the one who is putting it out.
That's a pure pipe dream.
States are not going to give up their income taxes, property taxes, tourist taxes, sales taxes.
23% might be acceptable in AK or Montana where there's no sales tax but in CA, for example, it'd be up to 31% at the cash register.
The FairTax replaces Income Taxes and Payroll Taxes and Estate & Gift Taxes. It does NOTHING about Federal Gasoline taxes, Phone taxes, Liquor taxes, Tobacco taxes, etc. Nor does it have anything at all to do with local taxes like sewer tax.
