As to tracking individual purchases, that simply will not happen! I cannot imagine how you or anyone else can conjure up a scenario where an individual consumer would even come into contact with a tax collector, either state or federal.

Tell you what, since you are so sure that won't happen, go ahead and have added to the legilation that if any individual consumer is ever audited under the "fair" tax, all of your and your family's assets will be immediately forfeit to the person audited. When you are ready to back up that claim under threat of impoverishment of you and yours, then I might buy into this scheme. Until then, it's just that much smoke being piped up our asses.

Have you read the legislation?

If you have not, please do so.

In any event, after you read H.R.25, please quote for me, the specific clause (s) which you believe will allow the Federales to audit private citizens!

You are the one piping smoke up our asses!
