"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?

Good point. I’ll be interested to see how Logical me responds.
