The Happy Tax Collection centers will be every bit as burdensome on our eceonomy as they go after the inevitable black market. Businesses will be esp. hard hit as they document and prove and ask for rebates for all their legitimate business expenses.
There is no way that a 30% tax will be collected without stern and unforgiving compliance agents.
So you say but the fact is enforcement mechanisms would be at the individual state level and there is no mechanism for them to abuse individual taxpayers under the fairtax much less destroy them!
You guys are really reaching hard today aren't you?
You should read the bill instead of picking lint from your navel.
There IS no "inevitable black market" except in the fervent hopes and dreams of you anti=FairTax types. What we have instead - RIGHT NOW - are many, many millions of people in the illegal economy not paying income tax on their income and with no way for the government to reach out and touch them for a "tax contribution" while the FairTax does just that when they spend their illegal income uynder the FairTax.
Enforcement will actually be much easier and cheaper that at present when the IRS themselves admit to something like an amoput equal to 25% of income tax receives is evaded - not including illegal income.
Businesses will do just fine thanks as the are paid to collect, report, and forward the FairTax.
Never mind the Cchicken Little arguments and scare tactice. Nightie and others try them all the time with no more effect that you'll have.
