Since the SALES TAX is the only tax that so VERY many ‘see’, it’ll go nowhere.

You’d have to convince people that ALL the taxes they now pay are GREATER than that, and Government will NEVER do that!

You can’t even get people to acknowledge that businesses pay NO taxes!

They are tax COLLECTORS for the state!

Increase the ‘tax’ 500% on ANY product and the PRICE of that product will go up OVER 500%! (Someone has to do the paper work!)

Apparently you don’t “see” the huge percentage deducted from you check each payday like so many of us do.

Does that mean you don’t pay it?

You statement about the 500% increase is wrong (and inapplicable to boot).

And, in fact, most of those who now actually pay x% in income tax will normally much less than that with the FairTax. I guess you don’t grasp that (either).
