Sorry but I disagree. And the voluntary part isn't the most important. Creating wealth is more important and the income tax deters that. BTW, is anyone on this thread other than you and me? I'd rather rip into you with an audience. LOL.

Do you see anyone else around here? Are there ever more than a couple of people on a FairTax thread?

Creating wealth is more important and the income tax deters that.

If creating wealth is SO IMPORTANT to you going forward, why does the FairTax plan severely punish anyone who has created wealth in the past by destroying a large portion of the value of their wealth? Surely anyone who had overcome the evil Income Tax and managed to accumulate wealth in spite of it should be looked at as some sort of superbeing, not someone to tear down their net worth.

I really can't fathom this aspect of your argument when you seem to agree previously that accumulated after-tax wealth takes a severe hit.

And yet the US has more billionaires per capita than any other country - go figure.
