You are unclear as to what “those” taxes are.
There was no reason to believe that you were referring to payroll taxes and 30% is light for some people.
If you are talking about the sales tax, it is 23% inclusive.
But you knew it and decided to use those cheap, distorting sunglasses again.
You’ve been busted more times than rodney king.
If you hire a self-employed person to cut your grass for $100, how much of that $100 does he send to the federal government in FICA, Medicare, and withholding? Those taxes represent the hidden taxes YOU pay today -- your grass cutter merely forwards YOUR money to the federal government.
The Fair Tax eliminates these hidden taxes and makes them visible as a separate line item to you, the consumer, does it not? This is Basic Fair Tax 101. Why are you being so obtuse? YOU should be telling ME these things.
Mojave's question to you remains unanswered. Why aren't the poor getting a prebate today to offset these hidden taxes?
