I am still looking over the Fair Tax info myself, but it has a lot of issues and what ifs I just can't resolve.

HOWEVER you Fair Tax guys need to at least attempt to get your rhetoric down.

This one right here is my favorite, almost a bait and switch:

We get to keep 100% of our paycheck! Currently, idiots run the country.

That is an out right lie. We will not keep 100% of our pay checks. We still have state taxes and benefit deductions. Saying that will make people think there is more to this than there really is.

There are other issues, but that is a simple one right there.

I will grant you the state taxes. But what benefit deductions are you talking about that will remain? SS and Medicare? Nope. Those are eliminated by the Fair Tax.
