As a 20 year business owner and life time investor I am very comfortable with my knowledge of such topics. As one who has worked with many small business owners I also know than many of them have a hard enough time graping the financial issues of their own business much less taxation on a national scale.
The "Fair Tax" looks really good on paper and many small business owners, myself included, have reason to hate the IRS so that clouds judgment as well.
I have read the book twice and came away mildly impressed but also knowledgeable that much of the “Fair Tax” is based on assumptions and theories that don't reflect the economic, corporate and social realities of 21st Century America. If and when the "Fair Tax" actually reaches a serious level of an open and honest national discussion free from the propaganda and salesmanship, those realities and the issues of its implementation will be it's downfall.
It is also apparent to me as well as many others that the almost “cult like”’ zeal many FT supporters have is due to the fact that they have found away to avoid paying taxes through buying used and living cheap. Indeed I am sure many are chomping at the bit to "stick it to the Fed" with their beloved "prebate" check, since I am sure they have run the numbers and found that the check is a few bucks more than what they spend each month on "necessities".
Like I told you before if you really want to know my objections to the FT they are listed in these pages, I don't care to repeat them again. Of course that is irrelevant because as a FT true believer anything that runs contrary to the “official” meme is taboo and worthy of scorn.
At least that part amuses me...
You may be comfortable in your own mind. Enjoy it there with your other favorite fantasies. Your comments show you have little if any understanding of principles.
Remember “Brain Rot”?, “Ask one hundred people”?, “Fairy Tax”?. These are not slurs of any one person with standing. They are the attributes of a shallow heckler with teenage juvenile intellect.
And you can link to your objections that “you don’t care to repeat”. I am certain each of your objections is baseless. Try and surprise me.
Oh, and I have never read the book. I read the legislation.
