So in your stupid analogy, out-of-control government spending is the result of our flawed tax code. And if we just fix the tax code (stop the bleeding) then spending will slow down and dry up (no need for mops). I don't happen to believe that the FairTax does a single thing about spending, and it isn't designed to according to most of its proponents. But now in your anaology you seem to imply that it will solve the spending problem as well.
And you think that I don't get it. You just keep making ridiculous statements.
Have you figured out how the FairTax doesn't jibe with Federalist 21 yet with its automatic readjustment of tax rate to match what the porkers spend?
"...out-of-control government spending is the result of our flawed tax code ... "
In a word, Robbie, NO - that's not what he said.
He was really saying that the spending is aided and abetted by our corrupt, flawed, hidden tax code. AND IT IS!!! Political games of hiding costs of things (and the taxes to pay for them) are so easily done under any income-based tax system that is child's play for pols to fool and mislead us.
The FairTax gives us back the visibility and simplicity with respect to taxation (and thereby, spending).
