You keep refereing to a "bill" that is the farttax. Until it is a law it is just a dream. BTW, no serious effort to establish a communist BIG in this nation would go about it by advocating a new tax, except of course the Farttaxers.

Maybe I have it wrong and you can clear this up for all of us. I sort of inferred that a bill was a pre cursor to a law and you didn't get the latter without the former. What is it they call that first thing that results in a law???

Perhaps you missed that the BIG is an attempt to RAISE income taxes. And so far as I know it is not even a bill before Congress let alone a law.

The fart tax? Whoa, now they stepped over the line. No way a fart tax will ever gain traction in this country.

Given that the Fairtax Book by Neal Boortz and Congressman John Linder is currently in the top ten best selling books on Amazon, I would say that this is much more than a "dream." The Fair Tax eliminates the IRS, Social Security taxes, estate taxes, capital gains taxes, and federal income taxes. It replaces them all with a revenue neutral consumption tax, plus gives a rebate each month for the basic necessities of living, based on your income. What it does is shifts the entire burden of taxation off of the most productive people and makes those currently paying zero income tax pay their fair share.

You get your entire paycheck, minus your voluntary deductions for retirement, etc., and by the time the embedded taxes are removed from retail products, the prices of consumer goods returns to basically what they were before the sales tax. It's a win-win situation.
