I was about ready to flame you until I read the article. Herman is not clear about the difference between a flat or a retail sales tax at the national level and the fair tax. The article is a legitimate point to the confusion around the sales tax options.
That should read VAT not flat. My voice transcriber did not transcribe that correctly.

He is if you understand the context of that article and the time in which it was written and what tax was being discussed at the time. Context people, context. It matters.
