I can’t resist this...Huck proposes a ‘fair’ 23% national sales tax...
We all remember the Boston Tea Party from history...that was just a tiny demonstration against a sales tax on tea...with a 23% national sales tax the natives may decide to burn down a lot more than tea....what a Huckleberry.
I can tell you that I have run my personal situation under every plausible condition and have come out better off under the FairTax every single time. I believe myself to be a fairly typical retired person so I STRONGLY suspect that most others will fair similarly but there is no need for conjecture as everyone can easily see for themselves by simply using the calculator, at the above link, for themselves.
