As I say at the end of the letter, this plan is still worth debating without the windfall pay increase for every wage earner. And there won't be any income or payroll taxes taken out of the new lower salary. And efficiences can cause the amount to rise back up later to everyone's benefit.

I'll be watching this thread closely. Like I said recently, (I think it was to you), the idea that someone comes out ahead after the FairTax is passed isn't really appealing to me. It would be nice, but that's not what I'm looking for.

Transparency in the tax rate, and the perceived pain of the tax burden on each person, is worth more than money. These results will lead to a foundational shift in the minds of the dependency class for the good of America- and it will undo decades of creeping Communist advances.

That's why I favor the FairTax, and I think we agree on this. But yes, it needs to be tested and prodded at every point. No surprises!

And that is how the fairtax should be sold, on its merits, not on some fairytale.

Thank you for a decent, civil reply.

The only thing I have ever been looking for from FairTax proponents is an honest discussion.
