Passage of the FairTax would represent the greatest transfer of power from Washington back to the people in the history of this nation!

You are exactly right on this! Then, when the country is in economically down times, the government will be forced to spend the same way. This tax replacement is the best idea, period. And, if the mass public dislikes spending programs and other wastes that make it to where we need a 23% sales tax, then the people now will demand en masse to lower it and to stop the welfare programs. The fair tax is a win-win for our great nation.

Try telling that to those here that say it is a tax on INCOME. Which it isnt if its put in as it is intended.

BTW where in Mich are you a woodsman? UP? or below the bridge?

The elephant in the corner is that during the mass confusion of the changeover, the economic enemies of the US could easily take our economy to is knees, and we’d all be happy as hell in our new 3rd world country with it’s pretty little tax package... and no one consuming enough of anything to matter anymore.
