Fair tax does away with 2 of the 9s, the corporate tax and income tax. That give total control over taxes to the taxpayer.
One benefit of both plans is what happens to embedded taxes. These hidden taxes comprises 22% on every item we buy - you do not see them but they are part of the cost of every prodct.
Under Fair Tax, the embedded tax goes away. Under 999, the embedded tax is greatly reduced.
under the fair tax scam you have the government deciding what is or is not a family,
under the fair tax scam all people must register with NuIRS.
under the fair tax scam you have a monthly NEW ENTITLEMENT CHECK called a prebate. it will be mere hours before demands for a “living prebate”, you WILL also have all of K street lining up to the capitol to demand a prebate “subsidy” via having their client’s product determined to be a necessity.
all confirmable in the direct language of the fair tax scam at http://www.thomas.gov no propaganda scam site needed.
I think the solution to collecting the sales tax is simple.
Let the states collect it. Most already have the mechanism in place to do this.
Then, we move away from a national sales tax and let each state set the sales tax where they want.
The federal gov’t, limited by a balanced budget amendment, can only spend so much. That amount is divided by the number of citizens in the last census.
Each state is required to submit the amount to the federal gov’t based on the number of citizens in their state.
This will solve several issues:
1) It eliminates federal taxes completely.
2) It eliminates block grants and the federal “cut” taken by bureacracy before the money gets to the states.
3) It returns fiscal control to the states.
4) It takes away the incentive to count illegal immigrants as citizens. Counting them increases your tax bill.
5) It encourages states to stop being sanctuaries for illegals as more enforcement will be used to get them off programs that cost the states money.
6) Each state can be creative in their sales taxes and what is being taxed. Some might tax services, some might not. Each state can experiment with their taxes and tailor it to suit the types of industries they have in those states.
