THE IRS IS DESTROYING THE MIDDLE CLASS!!
Almost anything would be better than this country's current tax system, so quit bitching about what MIGHT happen and start worrying about what IS happening.
PCJ, FINALLY!! Someone is waking up. It is DESIGNED to do JUST that by those making laws. The "fair" tax simply accelerates the process, and INSURES that no more upstarts such as Perot and Gates can horn into the gravy train. Whereas, a flat tax on income with NO deductions and/or exemptions would allow for ALL citizens to be productive with a chance for advancement due to high productivity equally. It is NOT "if" it will happen as Joan writes. It is a statistical certainty. Simply read the exapmles she gives. It can't be denied. Peace and love, George.

There's so many Chicken Littles that don't realize they're their own worst enemies. Of course, there are one or two people on the tax threads that have a vested interest in the tax quagmire and will fight tooth and nail and obfuscate to continue the quagmire.
