Its easy to understand how bookman misses the issue pertaining to the FAIR TAX, he does’nt! Liberals are scared to death that this will catch on and will remove the bedrock of liberalism.Taking away from those that earn it and giving it to dirtbags that dont(their voters).Socialism and marxism would be damn near impossible to implement with the Fair tax.
Just shedding the progressive tax would help so
when the tax payers votes for the big spenders they also
are aware they are actually going to have to pay from
their own earnings.
Really? What about that monthly prebate check every duly registered household in the US would receive? A little tinkering here, and a little tinkering there, and... But no, politicians wouldn't do that, would they?
About the only way they could redistribute under the Fair Tax system would be to increase the “poverty” level to increase the amount of the prebate.
It really irks them, however, that Bill Gates, you, me, and the homeless guy down the street gets the same “prebate”.
