About the Petition: It contains more than 55,000 pages … It is so complex that even those who wrote it don’t fully understand it. The “it” is the federal tax code, and more and more Americans are demanding that the time has come to abolish the IRS in favor of a “Fair Tax” system.
Or get a copy of MicroSoft FrontPage ;O)
Mojave might be a commie pinko liberal progressive troll. NO ONE else would deliberately confuse reimbursements of your own money with wealth transfers of SOMONE ELSE's money -- and keeping hammering on it without even ONCE considering the sincerity of those of use who see the difference. To a liberal ALL money belongs to the government first, foremost and always. It might be time to stop answering him (her? it?).
Stop if you like. I will not allow him to lie unchallenged. I'll always be there to challenge him :0)

It's not a rebate. The monthly dole is provided to a recipient regardless of how little taxes that beneficiary pays, if any at all.
You know this but lack the integrity to admit it. You're behavior is no better than any other tax protester.
he he I should've said, "I need me some time for learnin' HTML"!
NRST cultists do it constantly and you just did it yourself. The monthly pay out bears no relationship to the taxes actually paid by the recipient, if any at all.
Looking foolish, mojave. Look at the data.
OY!
It doesn't need to! Nearly everyone spends to the poverty level. Look at the data. Does data scare you? Do you know what data is?
Your lie is "negligible"?
Paging Bill Clinton.
Even many republicans are socialists.. However a value added tax scheme masked by "something else" might be possible..
Don't lie. NRST taxation doesn't reach to all spending.
oh... wait. We already have that!
I see 3 possible reasons for your comment:
1] You are just making that up as a joke.
2] You are just flat out ignorant of the facts.
3] You are flat out lying to protect some little niche that the present tax code offers you.
Which is it?
It's not clear what you're babbling about in your backpedal, but if you mean not everything is taxed, you're right.
The only taxed things are new (never taxed before) goods sold for retail consumption and services exempting education (tuition).
Beyond that, necessity level spending is exempt via a rebate. That is, only discretionary spending is taxed.
But he/she has repeated his/her argument 3 times now. Doesn't that make it valid? LOL
Or just buy rubbers. Cuz kids are expensive.
Economically speaking, they are both consumption taxes. But the differences are plenty. The flat tax retains withholding, which I see as evil and a tool for growth of government.
The other pernicious detail of the flat tax is that it taxes business - which is actually a hidden tax on individual consumers, individual workers, or individual investors.
ie it's just another way for the gov't to hide the true cost of government.
jmho
I agree but there is a HUGE reason to choose the NRST over the flat income tax in this, the most free country on earth. With the flat income tax you still have the gestapo...err...I mean the IRS and with the NRST you don't.
