Yeah, I don't think I like the fair tax...
Give me a flat tax!!
Get rid of the IRS!!!
Think about it for a bit before you discard the idea.
A simple flat tax on all income would me much more prone to allowing special interest groups to take advantage of it. And if that happens, other groups will be forced to pay more to compensate.
The can't do that with a consumption tax. And since you get to see and feel the Fair Tax every time you make a purchase, any time the government would propose raising it, everyone would voice their disapproval.
Besides, I'm not a fan of taxing income. I'd rather get taxed on my purchases. Just my 2 cents anyways.
