Always Wrong,

How can you support the idea of an ‘Income’ tax over the FairTax? It’s not a question of paying less tax, it never was. It’s the need to get the stinking KGB IRS out of American lives.

And the author makes the point clear that under the FairTax Congress will have to deal fairly with its constituents rather than succumb to bribery.

There’s only one reason to oppose the FairTax and that is if your livelihood depends on the ‘Income’ tax.

Because I see it as killing my business. I really don't see how new homes will be able to compete against existing homes sales under this scheme. The way it is set up, new homes will be at a 30% disadvantage from existing homes the day after this is passed.

It’s not a question of paying less tax, it never was.

No, but it is marketed that way. The old keep 100% of your paycheck and prices stay the same routine is the main staple of the fairtax pitch.

It’s the need to get the stinking KGB IRS out of American lives.

Then market the plan that way. Although I think the freedom claims are grossly overstated it should be an improvement. I can guarentee you, collecting $2.5 Trillion will be intrusive into everyone's life, I don't care how you do it.
