The Fair Tax is now the equivalent of the VAT? The Fair Tax cult shifts like the wind.

"The Fair Tax is now the equivalent of the VAT?"

Sure. According to the article, it's collected "exactly the same way"!

"the value-added tax, which is the most successful tax in the world"

Yeah. Because it's NOT collected "exactly the same way" as the Fair Tax. Plus, the VAT is in addition to an income tax.

That’s not what was said - seems you’ve a reading problem. It said the VAT was a “close cousin” not “equivalent”.
