A) I'm not blinded by hatred of the IRS. I've been at it's mercy for many years now and am hoping to see it's demise before my demise.
B) I was skeptical of the FairTax when I first heard of it. A friend bought me the book. I read it and we discussed it. While no tax system is perfect, the FairTax allows me to choose if I pay taxes or not. The IRS doesn't allow that. That is simply un-American.
The FairTax is a specific plan to abolish the income tax.
Specifically, what are your "other, better ways"?
i prefer a flat tax meself.
