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.
