I'm really disappointed to see so many Freepers getting excited over this. Rather than wasting our efforts trying changing the way taxes are collected, I'd much rather see Bush and the GOP put their efforts into actually REDUCING the size of the bloated federal budget...shrink government down first, then start making real tax reductions.

-- The FairTax RESTRICTS government spending by taxing government consumption as well.

You want tax relief? Under the current system, Americans spend more than $200 Billion per year on compliance costs. It inflates the price of everything produced in this country and is a total waste. It does not produce a single thing of benefit. Virtually all of that can be saved.
What do you think the chances are of Bush proposing a $200 billion/year tax reduction? Even the most far left wacko would be hard pressed to defend that aspect of the current system.
