Willie,
You're nose is growing. The FairTax is NOT regressive. The prebate assures that the FairTax is at least as progressive as the current system.
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
The evil IRS boogeyman is replaced by "compassionate" cradle-to-grave Social Security redistribution for the masses...
The Middle Class gets squashed like a bug under the oppressive burden of this scheme, and elite investors become lords of a 21st Century feudal system.
The convoluted "simplicity" of the NRST is a pile of crap.
