10% of a dollar is $0.10. Doesn't matter if you have 10,000 dollars or 100,000 dollars.

You need to look at it as a percent of your income. Those who make more pay a less percent of their income, per item, than those who make less.

People making less are taxed at a higher percent rate of their income.

The Fair Tax is regressive.

NO! I don't need to look at their income because I AM NOT A SOCIALIST! I do not believe that the haves should be forced to pay more than the "have less". Your thinking is flat out socialist, no way around it.

But, they buy more items!

THAT is a completely irrational view of taxation since it presupposes that everyone should be able to buy the same priced thing and therefore have the same income - else any tax is "regressive" that does not allow that. So you think that everyone should have the same income just to be "fair"???

Better look up the definition of a regressive tax - that ain't it.
