I am beginning to feel a certain disgust at your style of conversation. Obviously you do not proceed from a position of sincerity.
Of course I am not arguing that "we should keep an increasingly oppressive and complex tax code further encroaching on the freedoms of future generations." That's nonsense and you know it. You are engaging in sophistry to even toss a statement like that into the conversation.
And I not "perceiving" the Fair Tax as double taxation of my savings; it IS double taxation of my savings. You know that too, and you acknowledge it later in your post when you point out that the unfairness of the double taxation will decrease with the passage of time
How nice to know.
