Now obviously you don't get how great this 'fair tax' really is. You see everyone gets a tax decrease while the government expenses increase! Isn't that a miracle? It's like the goose that lays the golden egg. So you gotta like that goose [no pun intended].

Truth is ya can't cut taxes while federal government costs increase. The trick is to find out under which shell the tax increase is going. Shell No. 1 - taxes end up in States and local government. Shell No. 2 - taxes are deferred to future generations. Shell No. 3 - hidden in consumption costs.
