Fair Tax, anyone? Businesses would stop tax sheltering overseas and both their tax revenue and our jobs would stay home in the U.S.

I’m against the “Fair Tax” because it is progressive; it even says so on its official website.
I cannot condone any tax-system which is not, like Justice is supposed to be, blind wrt those under it.

A simple tax on consumption is apparently too contentious for some.

Politically, we may be too far gone for a fair tax. Only a virtuous people would consider a tax that cannot be manipulated to reward some and punish others.
