No to Fair tax
Yes to Flat tax

The fair Tax is a flat tax on consumption. The flat tax on income you espouse has been proven in this country to be a disaster. It's called the income tax. It began as a flat tax covering less than one half of one percent of the population. It has evolved into the oppressive complicated mess we have today covering more than 80% of the population. Another flat tax on income will only morph into another mulitiered tax mess.

The VAT tax that the Fair tax is (no, it is not a consumption tax) has proven to be a disaster and it too can and will morph into a wealth redistribution system.
