Just taking a quick look thru your posts, you started insulting people and calling names as far back as post #228 and I count no less than 10 such posts.

And you still don't answer direct questions.

I do answer direct questions, And I give correct answers. Your problem is those aren't the answers you expect in the fantasy "flat tax debate" you have in your head where you overwhelm all challengers with brilliant wit and faultless logic. In real life, people ask pointed questions that you don't have good answers to.

Since you love the flat tax so much. you can go to the threads running now about Maine's proposed $2 a pack cigarette tax. That is a type of the exact "consumption tax" you propose. You can tell the smokers in those posts what a great deal the flat tax is.

Putting the flat tax in place all all items - with some exemptions - will always result in the same unfair treatment. Your promises that it won't always melt when scrutinized. Although, in your mind, you are a great and wise proponent of a cause that will slay your enemies with its overwhelming force.
