You seem to fall for the pretense that it is 30% and paid on everything. Neither lie promulgated by opponents is true and in fact your effective tax rate under the FairTax will almost always be lower than it is under the income tax.
Why aren't any of the sales taxes in the country "tax inclusive"?
It is a 30% sales tax no matter how you spin it.
Funny thing is that the same characters that oppose serious tax reform also oppose reforming the war on drugs and also seem to be for gun control.
Ok not exactly all but you get my drift.
That’s rather rude don’t you think? And by the way I think 23% is an abomination also. I don’t restrict my thinking nor my like or dislike of taxes to strictly Federal. One needs to consider the big picture and the big picture is significantly more than 23% or 30% and that’s a big Ugh to me!
You statement that the FairTax would “almost always” be lower is a red flag. I’ve found throughout life that those usually or almost always statements seem to usually or almost always miss me by just a few dollars, and I end up paying more. If you would promote your position and convince people a more lucid and descriptive approach might gather more support. Accusing me of falling for a pretence didn’t help me understand the benefits I would derive from a fair tax, and that should be what you do if you want support for your position. I hope you have a pleasant evening.
