If it caused everyone to realize how much the government was stealing from us and to demand reform and to throw a bunch of the bums responsible out, how would that not be considered a win for everyone?

If your goal is a revolution, a sales tax is the way to go. I still think we have a great thing going in America, and I think we just need to work on what we have. Simply the code, reduce the size of government, and protect individual liberties. The havok I see a large sales tax creating is not the way to go. I am successful under the current system, so it makes no sense to me to scrap it completely.

If you want a revolution, the quickest way is to end withholding and have every tax payer file quarterly and write a check for what they owe.

As has been pointed out in previous threads, the bulk of your desire to fight the fair tax is personal greed and fear.

Our last revolution produced a pretty good thing, don't you think? Besides, it is way past time that the government was shaken up.

It is never too late to scrap a piece of legislation that was thought up by the Marxist in Congress.

This may be the first honest and correct (assuming that you aren't trying to fool us) statement that you've made in this whole debate

EXCEPT

the income tax hasn't made you succesful unless you are profitting from the horrible mess that it is and THAT is nothing to be that proud of when you consider the power it gives to the Feds.

If you aren't profitting from the system, you will be freer to be even more successful when the constraints of the F.I.T. are removed.
