FAIR tax would require a massive bureaucracy, checks sent to everyone, many people will pay more than needed to subsidies the “poor” because it is still progressive and it is not a tax cut for anyone because it is “revenue neutral”
FLAT tax is far superior and simpler
Complete utter BS!
Checks are already to sent to nearly every tax filer.
In 2008 GW Bush’s administration sent two tax stimulus checks to 144 million tax filers without a hitch.
If there is one thing the federal government is good at it’s sending out checks.
As far as the FLAT TAX, see post #16 and note that the Flat Tax is an income tax and will change because it can!
Absolute BS, and you know it!
The whole discussion is moot...if we actually had a gov’t that FOLLOWED THE CONSTITUTION.
Your point is the ONLY con re: ‘Fair Tax’ in my book; otherwise is it the best of them all
1) people to biz to State to Fed - no trace, no hounding, no IRS B.S.
2) completely VOLUNTARY (unlike the ‘Flat Tax’). Grow/make your own/barter/etc. = no tax
Couple that w/ a distributed ‘bill’ from the Fed to the State (State pays its ‘share’ of the budget) and you WATCH The People keep a keen eye on what is spent, how much is wasted on who/what/where
