NO FAIR TAX! FLAT TAX ONLY!

The Fair Tax is a flat tax but on consumption instead of productivity. Our current income tax code began as a flat income tax when the 16th Amendment was enacted in 1913. A 1% tax was imposed on the first $20,000 of income and 7% on income over $500,000. Less than 1% of the population earned more than $500,000 of income in 1913 making it essentially a flat income tax. A flat income tax will also keep the IRS in existence along with its court system that presumes a person guilty until proven innocent. All that goes away with The Fair Tax.

A fair tax is a VAT tax. How do you assume the IRS goes away with a fair tax? I hate that word ‘fair’ because the Leftists have so mis-used it.

How do you know that if a fair tax isn’t enacted that it won’t be changed like income tax was?

A flat income tax will also keep the IRS in existence along with its court system that presumes a person guilty until proven innocent. All that goes away with The Fair Tax.

Unless the 16th amendment is repealed the IRS will remain and any alternative tax structure will be imposed in addition to the income tax.

Not to mention the gnashing of teeth that will result over "destroying all of those jobs" at IRS
