I’ve said it many times before and will say it again!
We will never again be a truly FREE people for so long as we continue to abide the Marxist income tax and the IRS!
I have a problem with the Fair Tax and that is the rebating of taxes(or prebating). Everyone, including “the poor” should pay the same rate. This should lower the percentage required. It would also eliminate record keeping.
Also, I’d prefer that the law contain a maximum 10% sales tax rate(on everything). The term “revenue neutral” keeps popping up in these discussions. That is code for raising tax rates.
My preference would be that the government gets their 10% and is then forced to budget accordingly. If the revenue isn’t there, tough choices need to be made.
A growing economy will be the only way the government can see increased revenue to the treasury. To go along with this, we need a Balanced Budget Amendment.
