Just to recap, my income tax and Social Security tax drop to zero.

No.

Corporate income taxes drop to zero.

Yes.

The government collects the same revenue.

Yes.

All because the tax base was broadened?

No. But that's a big part of it. PIT and SS taxes are part of the fair tax. Corporate income tax is indeed gone. And yes, the gov't collects the same.

You are making progress Todd.

Like I said, my income tax and Social Security tax go to zero, as in are not withheld from my paycheck.

And yes, the gov't collects the same.

And prices remain the same?

You are making progress Todd.

No proof that the drug dealers pay more? You're not making any progress.
