The ‘FAIR’ Tax that Huckabee and some others talk about is an inflated sales tax. It puts a 23% tax on retail goods. Also called a ‘consumption tax’.
If you can’t tell, this will CRIPPLE the retail industry, and cause the price of goods to rise SUBSTANTIALLY!!!
Add this tax on to already existing state sales taxes and the price of the product you are buying just skyrocketed!
The fair tax is NOT A VAT
