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.

Most of that technology is overhyped as well, so I really don't care where it's made.
If you really want to address our future needs, we should be building electrically powered mass transportation systems (high-speed rail, light-rail and Maglev), nuclear power plants and desalination plants to supply fresh water to our coastal cities.

But hey, it's not my fault that you financial frauds and hucksters are just as technologically incompetent as the bean sprout and tofu crowd.

As far as I'm concerned, the Fair Tax is to economic discussion what
9/11 conspiracy theories are to the War on Terror.

I'm tired of hearing the drivel.
