They just scrape by now and can’t survive a 30% cut which is exactly what it would be if they spend all their income just to survive.

Yup! I tried to explain that in the past, but nobody listened. This FairTax will never be implemented because the majority of our population would take it in the butt. Voters, remember.

It is a waste of time to try to explain anything to fairy taxers. Its a cult and you have as much chance of converting rappers to country music.

"This FairTax will never be implemented because the majority of our population would take it in the butt. Voters, remember."

The Fair Tax is calculated to be revenue neutral, meaning it will take no more from the economy than the current monstrosity. It will be fully visible to the members of the electorate rather than hidden from their view. Query: If the FairTax will take no more from the economy than the current system, how can you legitimately assert that the majority of the population will "take it in the butt"? What is the basis for your assertion?
