A "progressive national retail sales tax"?
How could it be progressive? Rich people will pay more for goods than poor people? How would that be set up?
To: witchypooy
They should have asked how much per month you are paying into Social Security. Then shows how much tax. The trouble it that most folks ignore Social Security and will see the high figure.
Better for them to compare to the existing tax system sans social security.

I reply to this before. I don't need to take your stupid fairtax table. You obviously forgot the millions of retired people who will not get the break of no form of withholding. Therefore, once quoted, that a 23% increase in a fair tax system would not help the "out of work" and the retired. I'm so tired of this crap I could scream.

And you idiots keep forgetting the subsistance level check you'd be getting to compensate.

I'm still steamed. Where do we get these brain dead politicians. Contact all your Senators and explain that the retired and quite often "out of work" will be hurt. Also forgot to mention that hundreds of thousands of workers opp ed out of SS and built their own retirement. I could go on but I think that is enough to start a momentum to kill this stupid approach to correcting the income tax. Any better thinkers out there? We need you badly.

"And you idiots keep forgetting the subsistance level check you'd be getting to compensate." And when do we get this. After we are totally broke and starving, then we get this compensation. What a joke. As to your Viagra remark, that is another stupid thing the Medicare passed. Not this problem. Get a life.

Actually, if you'd EDUCATE your self on exactly what the Fair Tax plan is, you'd know you'd get the check monthly.
And yes, out of control spending on the part of Congress is exactly how we ended up with the AARP's Medicaid/Medicare package.
Get a clue.

.....I'm so tired of this crap I could scream....
I suggest you take some of the time you retired and out of work types have on your hands and take a closer look at it before passing judgement...It seems to me you are looking at it from only one small aspect and not the whole effect it will have including our ability to continue paying SS that was underfunded and also take the brakes off our economy from the mountain of compliance costs and imbedded taxes in our products and srvices. It does a lot more than end withholding..it puts the tax rate right out there for everyone to see what they are paying for govt. It might stop Congress from bankrupting the US....imagine if there is not enough money to fund you Social Security without the NRST then how would you feel? I'm sick and tired of the underground economy and illegals getting a free ride, and I think this NRST will go a long way to getting them to pay part of their way. It broadens the tax base allowing each of us to pay less. Please take a look at the links I previously posted to you and respond with your comments, not screams......

Perhaps you should scream! 'Cause you sure as hell ain't thinkin'. I am so sick of you greedy geezers I could blow chunks! Go play golf-as long as you don't drive to the course. Go gamble-as so many of you do. Times are tough for the elderly? Ya, and Michael Moore looks good in pink!!
My heart pumps peanut-butter for all you old farts. Try reading the actual bill submitted by Linder...

How could it be progressive? Rich people will pay more for goods than poor people? Have you considered the fact that "Rich People" spend more money and will therefore pay more taxes than "Poor People?"

A Taxreform bump for you all.
If you would like to be added to this ping list let me know.
John Linder in the House(HR25) & Saxby Chambliss Senate(S25), offer a comprehensive bill to kill all income and SS/Medicare payroll taxes outright, and provide a IRS free replacement in the form of a retail sales tax:
H.R.25,S.25
A bill to promote freedom, fairness, and economic opportunity by repealing the income tax and other taxes, abolishing the Internal Revenue Service, and enacting a national retail sales tax to be administered primarily by the States.
Refer for additional information:

By rebating the amount of NRST on the HHS povertylevel of expenditures for households.

Business/Corporate income tax costs are passed on to their customers.
