Not meaning to appear argumentative, because my sole goal here is to lower the tax burden (while recognizing gov't must be funded, somehow!), but the "cheaters" argument sounds like someone trying to legalize drugs so we can (for the first time) tax drug sales and tax income of drug sellers. I know there are cheaters, but I also know that these are a relative "drop in the bucket"!

I looked at what I spend in a retail sense, and I see what the "fair tax" people are proposing as a sales tax percentage, and I lose money! I would pay more tax than I do to the stinking IRS! That makes me AGAINST a federal sales tax! Heck, if I could keep one year's IRS money for myself, I would be debt-free except for my house payment.

I couldn't agree more that the income tax as it is cannot be justified or defended and needs to go away, along with the IRS, but the sales tax proposals I've seen take more from me more than the IRS currently does, so I CANNOT support it!!!

Are you factoring in the reduction in pre-tax price due to the lower tax burden on producers?

could you please be so bright as to say you support it, with a LOWER rate? what do you support? continued income tax with irs audits and property seizures?? boy, youd sure make a good leader of a revolution.

look closer....your pay check will increase 7.65% due to no more ss deduction....add another 15-20% in income tax deductions and your already at 22 -28% increase in take home pay. I own a business with 20 employees and i can GUARANTEE retail prices will fall as well. See.....I match that 7.65% SS deduction not to mention corporate income taxes my business pays. Sure businesses would try to keep the windfall but a free market will guarantee that prices will level out below where they are now......

You will be FAR BETTER OFF with the NSRT.....
