I don't understand your all or nothing comment since you DO seem to be defending the IT with your comments.

Wow, you really are stupid! Can you point to one thing I have said I like about the income tax? And, in spite of how much you would like to think otherwise, there are other options on the table.

The FairTax is hardly a cash cow for liberals. In fact, it is non-partisan and revenue neutral.

Did you overlook the fact that the rate would be automatically raised whenevener "needed"? Which is likely to be whenever spending is increased for any stupid, Unconstitutional, liberal reason ...

In the years to come it will, if anything, reduce the tax rate.

Only in Fantasyland.

It is the spending side of Congress that we need to concentrate on

You could be fighting that battle now to greater effect.

... after passing the FairTax and that will be more easily done than at present since the individual tax burden will be more easily and clearly seen.

Sheep don't care how you shear them; wolves will evade it in a thousand ways.

You seem to be against that. I wonder why?

Wasting your strength fighting a meaningless battle means you will lose the war.

Are you trying to say that your pose #835 is not an endorsement of the IT when you say "As I have stated before, the Fairtax would reduce my current costs by about 4% and that is without considering any additional taxes imposed on my overhead costs including rent, advertising, utilities, fuel, and capital equipment. And without adding the NRST back on top of my prices."?

Sure sounds exactly like that to me, but of course I'm stupid. I don't even know what you refer to when you talk of "other options on the table". I take that to mean realistic ones ... what might they be? The Nightmare VAT/Flat perhaps?

Also, the "automatic" raising you mention to accomodate skyrocketing liberal spending is nowhere in the FairTax bill. There's no point in fighting the spending battle until the tax system can be brought under control since with the IT, the tax-raising can easily enough be hidden by a great variety of means - and the citizens needn't know so they blame the pols (as obviously you don't).
