I don’t care what you name it as long as it means repealing the 16th amendment and abolishing the IRS and the enslaving income tax, social security, medicare, entitlement and other social transfer programs. The Constitution provides a means to fund the “legal” federal government and we should return to that. The legal federal government is about 10% or less of the size of the current massive federal behemoth and the largest single expense would be for funding and supporting the Army and Navy. I would not go along with any tax system devised to support business as usual for the illegally expanding unconstitutional federal government that has usurped the powers and rights constitutionally reserved to the states and the people.
They are talking about having a super majority to be able to change the fair tax rate once it is put in place. The fair tax will put in front of every consumer with every purchase what they are actually paying for their government.
The taxes will no longer be hidden from view in corporate taxes, tax compliance (Billions per year for compliance for citizens and corporations.)
The FairTax intentionally didn’t try to take on the whole enchilada as it is tax revenue neutral. Getting this passed will be a herculean task in itself. Just removing the power of tax manipulation from the politicians and lobbyists wont fix the whole socialistic mess we are in, but it get the ship pointed in the right direction at least.
See my tagline for the rest of your comment. I’ve had it for about a month.
