The only thing relevant to me in re: FairTax is that under the FairTax, I and my fellow Americans will be FRee to work, earn, save and invest without the heavy hand of government interfering.
The issue is FReedom! Once We the People are FRee of the income tax and the IRS, then we can fix other problems that present themselves.
Your insane insistence on repeating ad nauseum a couple of arcane “problems” you have detected in the FairTax has garnered you exactly how many positive posts?
How many Congressmen or Senators support your tax reform plan?
Slink off and keep muttering to yourself how unfair all of this is — no one here really gives a damn what you think.

Taxman,
I get the impression from what you stated above, you have been listening to Mike Huckabee and Herman Cain and have confidence in what fairtax.org says about the “fairtax”.
Sorry to disappoint, Taxman, but the alleged fair tax does not free Mary and Joe Sixpack, your ordinary working couple, from the “heavy hand of government“!
Mary and Joe have two children and find it necessary to earn extra money to pay their bills. Mary baby sits for neighbors in the community and cleans homes on weekends to raise extra money while Joe, who works for a pluming company as a full-time job, also provides the same plumbing service on his own time to people living in his community to raise extra cash.
Well, surprise, surprise! Under the alleged fair tax Mary and Joe Sixpack’s inalienable right to sell the property they have in their labor becomes a taxable event, and, they must first register with government to sell the property they have in their labor, send a 23 percent tax to the federal government on the sale of their labor, and file fairtax returns 12 freaken times a year under the penalty of perjury, and, they will be compelled to keep any records Congress may dream up, not to mention the threat of audits which will constantly haunt them if they dare to sell the property they have in their labor. And don’t forget, Mary and Joe will also have to pay a new 23 percent tax upon their purchases in addition to the 23 percent tax upon the sale of their labor. The alleged fairtax gets Mary and Joe coming and going!
I’m surprised you didn’t know the above facts regarding the “fairtax”. The fairtax is certainly not liberties’ friend! It’s a clever proposal for a massive expansion of Congress’ power over Americas’ businesses, industries and ordinary working class people. The only tax reform needed is to add the following 32 words to our Constitution:
“The Sixteenth Amendment is hereby repealed and Congress is henceforth forbidden to lay “any“ tax or burden calculated from profits, gains, interest, salaries, wages, tips, inheritances or any other lawfully realized money”
Best wishes, JWK
Are we really to believe the founder of fairtax.org., Leo E. Linbeck Jr., who was a former ringleader of the federal reserve banking cartel which plunders our national treasury? .
