I am still not sold on the Fair Tax. I'm open to learning about it more, but I like Steve Forbes response to it and I'm still in the Milton Freedman, U of Chicago camp, in preferring the flat tax. I'm willing to consider anything, but the Fair Tax appears to be a Libertarian approach versus a conservative approach. Meaning, it sounds good on paper but unworkable considering realities of life.

I suggest you visit the Fair Tax website at http://www.fairtax.org and Fair Tax FAQ's. As far as your statement concerning the Fair Tax being Libertarian concept I suggest you read FAQ #39 before you reach a conclusion about the Fair Tax.

"....the Fair Tax appears to be a Libertarian approach..."

That is an interesting comment, considering how many Libertarians oppose the FairTax and want to eliminate taxes altogether. Talk about an unworkable approach!!
