the electorate is solidly against the use of both retail sales tax and income taxes at the same time

In Georgia, we pay 6% income tax and about 7% sales tax, at the same time! And the electorate seems to be perfectly fine with it. We also pay a tax on our property, as well as a tax on our cars.

Where do you get this stuff?

Yep, we have a state income tax and a state sales tax in California as well. "Fair" taxers are apparently free to invent "facts" as they need them.

If you haven't noticed, we happen to be talking about taxation at the federal level. Not states. But don't let facts get in the way of your Strawmen.

Those state taxes are very selective taxes rife with exemptions and not the broad-based tax such as the FairTax.

geezer is certainly correct otherwise we would already have had both after almost 100 years of continually increased spending and tax law fiddling. We do not have both as a Federal tax - and we won't for the reasons stated.
