What do you have against visibility, and why should anyone with an honest mind care one whit about your arguments about the rate, as long as the FairTax is revenue neutral at the time of its implementation?

Visibility is good. A tax scheme that is going to be highly inflationary and destroy the economy is another story. If you want visibility, just make retailers put on their receipts how much embedded taxes are costing them. You don't need to disrupt our entire economy to make a point.

I could have sworn that you said 'it was a wash'. But it is pretty hard to follow your mental contortions, so I could be wrong. Unlike you, of course...you're never wrong.

Do you prepare your own taxes?

Are you aware that when a large number of tax 'experts' are asked to each prepare the taxes of one single filer, they invariably arrive at completely different amounts owed by said taxpayer?

Why the love affair with an obviously unfair, overly-complicated, convoluted, invasive system?
