[Filo]

Well Filo, you have an ‘interesting’ way of viewing taxation.

At this point we are not discussing taxation - we are discussing distribution.

“The FairTax is a law that is imposed on retail purchases ONCE SPENDING IS ABOVE THE POVERTY LINE.”

I think you need to explain WHY you think the above law is unconstitutional, WHY it is ‘wealth redistribution’ especially as it is IDENTICALLY THE SAME FOR EVERY AMERICAN WITHOUT ANY CHANGES WHATSOEVER.

I've already done that.

Don't blame me that you're functionally illiterate.

If even one person gets a distribution that exceeds what they are paying in taxes during a given year then they are having wealth redistributed to them.

As it stands, many millions will probably fall into that category with the FT.

Welfare is unconstitutional therefore the welfare-like provisions of the FT are as well.

Read The Constitution and pay especially close attention to the Tenth Amendment.

If you manage to find a provision in that document that allows the Federal government to redistribute wealth you let me know.

Failing that, the Tenth holds - Powers not enumerated in The Constitution are reserved to the States or to the People.

Don't sweat your inability to understand. Congressman Linder didn't get it either.

Of course in his case that represents a failure to adhere to his oath of office. . .

You haven’t explained it Filo, not at all!

Let’s try again. Explain how the law:

“The FairTax is a law that is imposed on retail purchases ONCE SPENDING IS ABOVE THE POVERTY LINE.”

redistributes wealth in light of the fact that it is the exact same for every American?
