I know a better tax plan. ANYTHING.

Fairtax is a farce, an absurdity, a shell game. Its total malarky. It pretends to tax the GOVERNMENT to pay the GOVERNMENT — 500 billion.

It pretends to be able to tax all medical costs — which means patients. Cancer patients, nursing home patients, heart by pass patients, child birth, Emergency Romm patients, brain tumor patients, etc etc.

Do you really think the parents of a child with leukemia will pay a 40,000 sales tax on their efforts to keep their child alive — or will those parents have a word or two for the congressman that voted to give them such a whacked out tax?

My hunch is, a lot of people will be stunned when they get these huge taxes on their surgeries, and on all their efforts to stay alive.

Plus - fairtax might garner a few remarks from RENTERS — who have to pay this tax on every dollar of their rent.

Won’t they be surprised.

Here is a clue - just think of the reactions of people who could get 50,000 in sales tax on some medical cost - and they only MAKE 25K. I wonder what they would say?
