Simply put, investment is not taxed while consumption of new goods and services are taxed. Education is an investment.
What allows the tax to be fair imo is that each person with a SSN can choose to receive a "prebate" of tax that the average person will spend on necessities in the coming month. The effect is to make necessities of life tax-free. IMO they should be. Of course the level of necessity spending differs by family size and by family - but the average is used (avg as determined by HHS annually).
Geez can post the table, if he would be so kind!
