i like the national sales tax because it does completely eliminate all government knowledge of your personal life. That’s why it will never happen.

actually the original tax was on income. which by definition was derived from a source. investment income not wages. The crooked supreme court changed the definition of income to be “appurtenance to wealth” i think it was IRS v glenshaw glass

I don’t agree. We should not be penalized for our success. It’s a government scam.

It is not, in my mind, an if-then proposition.
I’m not sold on the fair tax, but I agree with gutting the tax code and removing the ogre that the IRS has become.
I get a little frustrated that the fair tax proponents believe it’s the only way. Disagreeing with the fair tax as the best solution on other threads has resulted in some members, myself included, being derided as idiots, liberals, and miscreants.
It’s the starting point of a conversation that needs to be had, but there is a my way or the highway sentiment among some of the supporters that concerns me. Let’s agree that something should be done, and soon. But please let’s not allow the blinders off advocacy to keep us from endeavoring to find the best solution.
Not directed at anyone in particular... and definitely not jumping on you, polo. More of a generic rant, so I tapped post 1 for the reply. Hoping to keep the debate about ideas and not people.

Who pray tell determines what is fair?
Flat tax would be better.

A “fair tax” is a sales tax. A sales tax would inhibit consumptions that fuels the American way of life.

An income tax is a tax on productive work. It inhibits production that fuels consumption.
