The Fair Tax gets more revenue from the truly wealthy rather than high income earners who are still wage slaves as well as taxing the illegal alien underground economy and criminal income. All great goals IMHO.
Absolutely!
The real issue is FReedom and Liberty.
In simple terms, whenever the government has first claim to a person’s earnings (as in an income tax), all other tax issues become irrelevant.
The truth is that, under any form of income taxation, you, as an individual, have lost your economic FReedom — you are a slave to the government.
The 16th Amendment to the US Constitution fundamentally altered the relationship of the American people to their government.
Prior to 16th, people were master, government was slave.
After 16th, government was master, people were slaves.
FairTax seeks to right this horrible wrong done to the American people in 1913.
Passing the FairTax will allow and encourage ALL AMERICANS to work, earn, save and invest. And by then taxing, not earnings, but retail sales, at one low, flat rate, the US government will re-establish FReedom and Liberty as an important guiding principle for governance in the 21st Century.
