Some people, who sell "Pay No INcome Tax" kits for $49 will be out of a racket. Others (who currently evade taxes) will actually have to begin paying taxes.

I am neither of these, and I have some concerns about a FairTax. So what's my moral failing then?

What are your concerns? What are your preferences on tax policy?

None at all, actually, and that's a healthy sign.

I'm sure it would help you - answering both your #100 and #101 - to see that the FairTax is actually pretty progressive. Any regressivity is largely alleviated by the "prebate" (Family Consumption Allowance) plus some of the other features of the bill itself.

There are several good sources of information:

http://www.fairtax.org/

http://www.fairtaxvolunteer.org/smart/faq.html

http://www.fairtaxvolunteer.org/smart/rebuttals.html

For a really good insight to the proposed law, you can read the bill itself - it is a rather quick read and is written in fairly pain English compared to the present Tax Code.

Just click on the "bill number" choice under the search box and enter "hr25" (without the quotes) here:

http://thomas.loc.gov

The "loc" is Library of Congres - this is an official government website. I usually click on :Printer Freiendly Display" in the resulting window for the bill.

I'm sure you'll have other questions after your reading so just post them on the thread and someone will answer them. Keep in mind, please, that there are a number of vehement FairTax opponents (or status quo defenders) such as Willie Green, Your Nightmare, lewislynn, and even others so please keep that in mind when judging their posts.

A number of us are enthusiastic proponents of the FairTax
and like to help others learn about it. If you should view the comments to the President's Tax Panel you will note that the FairTax (hr25, s25) has more favorable comment activity than any other.

I too have concerns about the Fair Tax. I too have moral failings. I don't know what your moral failings is/are.

Why would you think someone on an internet board would know this?
