Huckabuck also said that he is in favor of scrapping the IRS. In favor of a twenty three percent retail tax. That sounded good until he said then even DRUG DEALERS, PROSTITUTES, AND PIMPS would be paying taxes on all their retail purchases gas,food,cars,etc. And those below the poverty line would have tax rebates so in effect they would pay no tax. Well Huckabuck I have a question for you how many DRUG DEALERS, PROSTITUTES, AND PIMPS do you know who report their income. So I guess they are all showing up at the poverty level and getting tax rebates. A nice reward for making a secret unreported living. Think Huckabuck use your brain are you really that dumb.
“Well Huckabuck I have a question for you how many DRUG DEALERS, PROSTITUTES, AND PIMPS do you know who report their income?”
And that’s exactly his point. They don’t report their incomes so we see no tax on their activities. But under the fair tax, they will pay taxes every time they purchase something with their “hard-earned” labors. Bag of chips, pay the tax; new house, pay the tax; Alaskan cruise, pay the tax.
I haven’t made up my mind on the fair tax yet, but your criticism doesn’t apply, at least as far as their INCOME goes. On the other hand, technically the drug dealer is supposed to charge the fair tax too, and send it in to the government. That’s going to be a bit of a challenge, I suspect.
My understanding of the prebate is that everyone gets it, so it has no bearing on reporting or not reporting income which would no longer be the basis for taxation. Above the poverty line, everyone pays the Fair Tax on new merchandise.

The Huckster knows it would take a constitutional ammendment to get rid of the income tax and that it would never pass . The Huckster just wants to ad an additional 23% national sales tax on top of all the taxes we already have. Huckabee has met a tax he doesn’t like.
Huckabee used to be a democrat and he has always been a liberal.
Huckabee is for Amnesty for illegals and their 100 million relatives back in the 3rd world.
Huckabee has raised taxes and grown the government many times.
This Huckster would destroy America and the Republican party (100 million illegals would do it).
