The FAIR tax would give us an IRS bureaucracy larger and more intrusive than the one we have now.
Better a flat tax than the so-called “FAIR” tax.
IMHO, the Fair Tax is okay. But I’m afraid it’s complicated enough (prebate, etc.) that Low Info voters won’t/can’t understand it.
If we’re gonna make radical changes in the tax system, I think a flat tax, with a provision that make it almost impossible to move the rate up, would be simpler and have a better chance of passage.
Of course, the problem with both of these plans, which virtually insures neither will be enacted, is the large number of lobbyists, tax attorneys, etc. that would be without work.
The IRS is the US government’s primary means of controlling the social structure as well as doing the bidding of those who own the Federal Reserve. The only way to ever eliminate the IRS is to dismantle the US government.
YES! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!
“Fair Tax” reads about the same as “Compassionate Conservatism” in my mind.
Nothing, absolutely nothing, is more “Fair” than the Flat Tax. “Fair” Tax is just more Statist Politician smoke and mirrors, more Yale/Harvard/D.C. Policy Wonk mental masturbation.
Flat Tax. Period. End of sentence. Now go to bed.
I would have to oppose the “Fair Tax” bill. The last time that I checked about 2 years ago, it still had a *major* flaw. It would *unfairly* double tax the Roth IRA and other post tax savings of individuals who have already paid the fed income tax on this money. Now we prudent savers would be double taxed when we use this *already taxed* money for new purchases under a new national sales tax.
Until the “Fair Tax” supporters acknowledge and find a *fair* solution to this major flaw, I will only support a change to a Flat Tax policy instead.
