Leave the tax system alone. It’s been working and to some degree, it protects small business (with deductions of all kinds). I’m a very small businessman. I want those “protections” PROTECTED! No “fair tax” for me!

Good for you!

The rest of us want our confiscatory tax rates dropped from the current total of 40+ (Fed, State, County, City) dropped to something more fair.

Maybe we can make it voluntary so that you can go ahead and happily pay your higher level of taxes while the rest of us fight for a lower tax rate.

Does that work for you?

There will NEVER be a “fair tax”, just as there will never be any Soc. Sec. “reform” because both issues are highly charged and the country is split on them. While I welcome some sane SS reform, I DON’T welcome a “fair tax” that will destroy my business and other small businesses. Sorry.
