Why the FAIR Tax won't work, by Bruce Bartlett
There IS one thing I'll say good about the FAIR Tax. It would likely make small government conservatives out of the yellow-dog Democrat "working" poor. They would quickly tire of watching all their income being eaten by federal sales taxes. (Hardly made up for with monthly rebate checks.) "You want to lower the tax rates? Stop voting for socialists!"
“It would likely make small government conservatives out of the yellow-dog Democrat “working” poor. They would quickly tire of watching all their income being eaten by federal sales taxes.”
You say that like it is a bad thing or did I miss the sarcasm tag again. That is one if the main selling points of the fair tax you know what uncle sugar costs you every time you buy something.
