Flat tax is the way to go

The Fair Tax is a flat tax but on income instead of production. A tax on income is one of the planks in Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto. Communists espouse any tax on income, including a flat tax, because they realize over time they can increase the tax burden on productivity thereby eventually discouraging people from producing/working. The only alternative at that point is to turn to the state for subsistence. That ignores the fact we have already tried a flat tax on income and it has been a miserable failure. It's the federal income tax code. People were taxed 1% on the first $20,000 and 7% on income over $500,000 when the 16th Amendment was passed in 1913. It was essentially a flat tax on income since so few earned more than $500,000 in 1913. It has evolved into the multi tiered increasingly intrusive and oppressive tax code we have today. Any flat tax on income will morph into the same convoluted mess we have today only faster thanks to the thousands of lobbyists in D.C. that didn't exist in 1913.

On the contrary, they love the current tax code that creates a strong centralized form of government espoused by Marx and Communists today. The Fair Tax threatens their agenda as it will decentralize government by empowering individuals to decide when and how often they are taxed.

Liberals want to APPLY the "Fair Tax" WITH our current tax system.. that's why they like it.

SANE PEOPLE want to apply the "Fair Tax" INSTEAD of our current system.

As for FLAT TAX... you still have the IRS...the Gestapo for the modern age.

As for CANADA.. that is more a VAT tax.. which is added at every level..

Actually, you're the one sounding like a LIBERAL... you do!!! WANTING to keep the INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE ... geeez!!!

You need to understand the difference between the Fair Tax and a VAT. The Fair Tax is not a VAT FRiend. What liberals have come out in favor of the Fair Tax?
