They can stick their stinking “fare tax”.

We worked our whole lifes and paid high income tax rates, maximum Socialist Security, and Mediscare taxes on the money earned yet managed to save for retirement. Now some want to tax it again when I spend the savings in retirement.

You'll pay it anyway, Fair Tax or not.

If you buy an item from me, you have to pay my cost of producing the item, my profit margin, and my tax burden.

We're all getting screwed from multiple angles, and our savings are not exempt. The Fair Tax just spatters the same tax money all over the receipt, so we're fully aware of the cost of government.

“Now some want to tax it again when I spend the savings in retirement.”

BS Talking Point. Debunked numerous times. Such a talking point hasn’t flown and will not fly.

When savings are used to ‘spend’, they are taxed again in the price of purchases. Federal taxes are embedded in the price of everything; embedded taxes that the FairTax NRST is designed to replace.
