and ending the income tax means millions of manufacturing and service sector jobs return to the USA under better tax circumstances.

Hogwash...
It does absolutely nothing to alleviate the EPA, OSHA regulations, Zoning regulations, Worker's comp litigation, etc. etc. that burden domestic manufacturing sector.

You might as well be claiming that the Fair Tax will also remove calcium deposits and eliminate mildew stains. The Fair Tax snakeoil claims are that ludicrous.

THE biggest reason why American jobs are leaving the country is the fact our taxation is based on taxing income, not taxing consumption. Switching to FairTax means businesses--even the new "green" economy--will stay here in the USA, not headed out of the country.

I mean think about it: do you want tomorrow's wind turbines, tidal wave generators, solar panels and advanced electric batteries to be built in the USA, or built in Mexico, eastern Asia, etc? Build it here and it means millions of new jobs for the American economy.
