...to tell you what I paid in state sales taxes, which, for all but the most anal retentive spenders, would be virtually impossible.

Or the taxes you paid for the corporations, which are hidden/built-in to the purchasing price of every single item you have ever bought.

Your opposition to the FairTax has failed to include the benefits derived from casting complete sunshine into the hidden tax system we all labor under now, and routing out the duplicative and deceptive taxation that goes without any amount of scrutiny under current systems.
