I don't spend hours on a partisam site the link for which took you seconds to post. If you understand the issue, argue it yourself.

You're in the small minority and I have no need or desire to educate "heathens". That you don't want to educate yourself fine -- so be it. Any reader that wants to can learn at Americans for Fair Tax on the fairtax.org. Web site.

So, you don't understand the arguments. You just like the notion of being relieved of paperwork once a year.

Minority? I don't think so. Only a tiny fraction of the people registered to post on FR have posted on this thread, so your statement is without merit. But, even if the is a majority here, since when have a majority, if there is one in this case, ipso facto been right? That seems to be what you are relying on, a "majority" is in favor of a NRST therefore it must be a good system.

Ask around, see how many people (not on FR) have even heard of a NRST. The issue has been argued before on FR. People on FR tend to have larger than average incomes, exactly the ones that can tolerate a sales tax and still be able to buy most of what they have in the past, or at least for a little while if the NRST passes.

Wait until the majority of retail businessmen, wage earners and people on fixed incomes weigh in. "Minority" indeed.
