Where is the counter-petition where we sign an acknowledgement that the “Fair Tax” is deeply flawed and that it should never be implemented without those flaws being addressed?

Do you support maintaining the IRS and the income tax as they currently exist or do you have a better idea? If so is there legislation in congress to implement it?

You are free to start one anywhere and anytime you like. That would be much more constructive than just disrupting FT threads and attacking its supporters as so many FT opponents do. That way you could list out the specific “deep flaws” which must be addressed.

The problem with that approach, of course, is that the opponents probably could not get together on a specific bill of particulars.

I would encourage you to write your perfect tax bill and then shop it around the Congress for someone to sponsor it.
