i'm a dixie patriot who despisaes the DAMNyankees who HATE our southland, our battleflags, our cemeteries & memorials to our WBTS dead, our separate culture & our fine dixie citizens.
only 10-15% of northerners are DAMNyankees, but they are a REALLY hate-FILLED,arrogant, ignorant, RUDE, angry & LOUD-mouthed bunch of LOUTS!

economic merits aside, that's going to be a tough sell in today's environment. All somebody has to do is say the name, "Exxon," and Congressmen will be scared to death of voting for it.
At least there's some gold behind our currency. (It's there we just can't find it at the moment.)
As long as the FairTax is no more than 10 percent (rather than the onerous 30 percent exclusive figure being trotted out), I'm willing to consider it. If government actually concentrates on its CONSTITUTIONAL duties and abolishes all the other stuff, 10 percent should be an easy sell.
Yes, repealing the 16th would be a good prerequisite to establishing a national sales tax.
I would prefer that the federal capital gains tax be no more than 10 percent. That should help boost venture capital outlays.
A lovely wife who doesn't nag you a lot?
Let's average it out: a 3.5 percent flat tax, anyone?
Another round of rate hikes, coming up!
OK, now, relax and drink lots of coffee. Also, when the hangover arrives, a little hair of the dog that bit you, or so I've heard.
That and the fact that when they want a piece of land developed, they can simply destroy the homes that are on it. It makes our own eminent domain scandals look like child's play!
There is truth in that. Eminent domain has its advantages, especially for urban development. I know most freepers are against it, but I can see especially for a densely populated area which China has a lot of, the advantages
Tell that to all the people being thrown out of their homes.
Got that. How about a little extra meat on the plate at dinner, and a ball game on the telly?
I'd be for that too so long as you can show us the 10% (whatever base that might be on) is both revenue neutral and includes the prebate.
Let's get it passed.
Not needed as a prerequisite since the FairTax bill eliminates income/payroll (and some other) taxes, does away with the IRS, and requires the income tax records to be destroyed. It also calls for repeal of the 16th, but that repeal bill cannot be part of a tax bill (or a spending bill for that matter).
Great ... the FairTax has a capital gains rate of 0%. glad to hear you're with us.
