yes, I am well informed on it

I am against the “fair” tax because there is nothing fair about it

1) the name (I hate orwellian double-talk)

2) the pre-bate. Low income people get a PRE-BATE of the taxes they pay at the cash register- all democraps will have to do is promise everyone a bigger pre-bate

3) the ‘tax-inclusive’ rate calculcarion. In a normal sales tax of 7% if you buy something for 100 you know your final price will be 107 dollars. But a ‘tax-inclusive’ rate of 7% the price would be somethign like $108.22. Impossible to calculate in your head. So they calculate it in advance and HIDE IT in the price.

4) the 27% rate- that’s insane!!! (and it is really 32% if you calculate it the ‘normal’ way)

10% across the board flat tax. easy, simple, everyone pays. and I do mean EVERYONE- except people who RECEIVE a government check. It is stupid to tax people who are being paid out of taxes....

AND the government MUST live within that 10%, balance the budget, and ANY surplus MUST PAY OFF DEBT before it is used for any new programs

Thanks for the nice reply, Some of the “fair tax” people are real ass-holes

“EVERYONE- except people who RECEIVE a government check.

So we’re back to 51% riding in the cart instead of helping pull the cart?
