The level of the sales tax rate is not a commentary on this form of taxation. It is a direct commentary on the level of spending by government.
Under the status quo, which you support, the vast bulk of our tax load is HIDDEN. Under the FairTax, 100% of taxation would be VISIBLE.

All Americans will be united in one interest: lowering the rate. What is the only way to lower the rate? Reduce spending.
