It’s not BS. Once again you show you have not done your due diligence and you jump to conclusions without checking facts or performing calculations.

It’s on the FairTax website.

About 680 large retailers will account for about 80% of the NRST.

About 3000 retailers will account for about 95% of the NRST.

Check it out yourself.

Enforcement will be much more manageable under the FairTax. There is no debate on that issue, not even in Congress.

I love the "It's on the FairTax website" defense. Too bad they're not interested in the truth.

The statistic they quote is from 1996! You don't suppose there's been much of a change in retail since then, do you? Maybe something called The Internet!?! You may have heard of eBay or shopping.Yahoo.com. I can literally set up a online retail store in about 10 minutes. The web is littered with individuals who have set up their own shopping web site. A lot of them would love to charge their customers FairTax [and some of them might even remit it].

FairTax.org's statistic is woefully out of date. If they were at all interested in the truth, they would find more recent data. And your lack of skepticism of their information is telling.
