So are you for the status quo?

To directly answer your question, I am neither FOR the status quo nor AGAINST the FairTax.

I AM against irrational, impossible, and problematic promises. I AM against naive notions that once instituted that ANY new system is immune from tampering. I AM against the notion that any revenue neutral tax system somehow lessens everyone's tax burden. I AM against the notion that those who dare ask questions or point out inconsistencies have nefarious intent.

I AM for tax system reform (including wholesale replacement of today's system of income taxation) provided that such reform can live up to its claims. Time will tell if the FairTax is such a system; but as long as its proponents continue to sell it by making false claims, I'm not buying.

Like I thought you have no ideas. You offer only criticism. You remind people I run in to in life sometimes. You know the NEGATIVE people that have nothing to offer but criticism. By no means am I saying this is a perfect system. However, its a lot better than what we have now.

I am not going to argue with you point by point because I believe you are not objective. It does not matter what facts you are shown. You seem hell bent on arguing against any change. Like I said before I guess you cannot FREE a Slave that loves their chains........
