So, you don't understand the arguments. You just like the notion of being relieved of paperwork once a year.
Minority? I don't think so. Only a tiny fraction of the people registered to post on FR have posted on this thread, so your statement is without merit. But, even if the is a majority here, since when have a majority, if there is one in this case, ipso facto been right? That seems to be what you are relying on, a "majority" is in favor of a NRST therefore it must be a good system.
Ask around, see how many people (not on FR) have even heard of a NRST. The issue has been argued before on FR. People on FR tend to have larger than average incomes, exactly the ones that can tolerate a sales tax and still be able to buy most of what they have in the past, or at least for a little while if the NRST passes.
Wait until the majority of retail businessmen, wage earners and people on fixed incomes weigh in. "Minority" indeed.
Ask around, see how many people (not on FR) have even heard of a NRST. Yes, do this. You'll find overwhleming support and curiosity about eliminating the income tax.
People on FR tend to have larger than average incomes,
Supporting data please? I wholeheartedly disagree. I believe FR is a complete cross-section.
...exactly the ones that can tolerate a sales tax and still be able to buy most of what they have in the past
Oops, Will. You forgot that poor folks have negative or zero tax rates under nrst. Who you tryin' to fool?
As I said in my first post
348: "To all readers, a simple response is all that is needed. Read the
Americans for Fair Tax at fairtax.org."
Only a tiny fraction of the people registered to post on FR have posted on this thread, so your statement is without merit.
You have such a small/narrow view. You limit yourself to this (FR) narrow slice of the world and this thread in particular. If not that, then you created a straw man just so you could kick it latter on in your post -- a narrow view bounded by irrationality. ...Well now, isn't that special -- NOT! Your self-limiting view is without merit.
But, even if the is a majority here, since when have a majority, if there is one in this case, ipso facto been right?
That straw man won't hunt. I never said or implied that the majority was right or wrong -- I never said one way or the other. Whether right or wrong is not the point. The point is, as I said: "I have no need or desire to educate "heathens". That you don't want to educate yourself fine -- so be it." 678
That seems to be what you are relying on, a "majority" is in favor of a NRST therefore it must be a good system.
You assume wrong. Probably the reason you assume wrong is because I won't cater to your desire for me to engage in "battle" with you. As I said, "I don't have a need or desire to educate heathens." That you're in the minority is that, to me, you're inconsequential and I have better use of my time. That was expressed in my first post. post 348 -- short and to the point.

I see you're still arguing from a heathen perspective. The majority of people aren't like that and are quite open to an honest discussion as opposed to hyperbole such as you've put forth.
