Geez, and you say the Fair Tax is a pipe dream! Lets get behind something that CAN actually pass...
Progressive Tax = FAIL
Flat Tax = FAIL
Fair Tax = TBD
The number of supporters grows every year... :-)
No, you are misrepresenting my point. I do not believe Fair Tax is a pipe dream. I believe it is just more of the same, another system that is going to be manipulated just like every other tax collection method. I am pointing out that the stated pillars of the reasons for adopting the fair tax are made of glass and easily broken.
MORE IMPORTANTLY, changing the tax collection method does not solve the problem we face today with 1) Congress spending more than it takes in and 2) Congress segmenting the People into different tax buckets and instituting class warfare via the tax code. To me, fixing those issues is far more important that changing how we collect taxes.
