    Go back to 1912 and tell everyone that you're going to have income taxes that consume up to 50% or more of a person's income before they get to save $1 for themselves or buy medical care. Tell them that living frugally won't save them on taxes and that if they move away to try and escape the IRS will claim ownership over their labor for up to 10 years post.

    Tell everybody that they are a slave to a government who claims first right to their work.

    The idea is nuts!

  • Shep -- my idea? My idea is a flat tax on all income with no deductions. That my idea.

    I mean tax ALL income the same as we tax income from work.

    Farce Tax is pure bullshit -- you have been fooled moron It sounds great -- but they know its all bullshit, which is why they arent even having hearings in 12 years, why corporations and retailers are against it.

    they forgot to tell you suckers its bullshit

  • @NavyBeer

    flat tax still requires filing, doesn't tax adjust exports, still grants government a higher claim on your life than you yourself have, still allows for taxes on inflation gains, still can create taxes on unrealized "phantom income" ... Flat Tax is third on my reform list, Fair Tax is #2, replacing the income tax with nothing is #1.

  • The government already taxes the incomes of poor people and cancer patients. They are taxed before they ever get their paycheck and then they pay all of the embedded corporate taxes at every stage of production to get their treatment.

    That, in addition to government intrusion in the health care industry and markets which effectively doubles the cost on everyone, resulting in double the cost for health insurance as well.

    Sorry, show me your better idea or shut up.

  • @NavyBeer

    Nursing home patients are often living off of their or their families savings, which is generally tax deferred in 401ks, IRAs or other vehicles. OR, they receive government benefits which are generally indexed for cost for living.

    And again, eliminating the income tax levy at all stages of providing service to those people will reduce the overall cost.

    Everyone pays taxes out of their paycheck before buying things. This gives them choices instead of just being robbed.

  • I see NavyBeer has broken out another one of his aliases. Where are your other aliases, bullship detector,farce tax etc? You are well known all through out the internet for your great job of going around and harassing fairtaxers on message boards and youtube with your lies and insults. Must be an exciting life ya got there bud?

  • I wanna know what anti-tax reform lobbying firm FarceTax works for to employ such hyperbolic scare tactics so far removed from an intellectually honest evaluation of all economic consequences of the FairTax.

  • The TRUTH is that a congressional committee made up their own consumption tax with numerous exclusions and concluded that the tax would need to be 68% (this was NOT the FairTax).

    More importantly, none of them were shocked at how high that figure was and figured out that government is too big and intrusive.

    It is assumed at this point that NavyBeer and FarceTax are the same person or are closely affiliated.

  • @NavyBeer

    Smart people are able to make their point without resorting to crass, uneducated language every other word.

    It is clear that this NavyBeer buffoon has no grasp of how the FairTax works or the all of the beneficial economic ripples that would result. The great thing about the Internet, everyone can equally show off how bright or how stupid they are.

  • Wellll, you already have money (15.3% + the income tax [up to 35%]) taken out BEFORE paying for those bills. Cost of medical care would come down considerably with government and embedded taxes out of the way. I dunno, FairTaxy opponents generally can only see one Chess move ahead instead of seeing ALL of the positive ripples that would emanate.

  • You already pay the taxes BEFORE you even get your paycheck. You want you're whole paycheck, then you decide or do you want the government just extracting the money by threat of force before you go buy stuff. You're engaging in hyperbolic discussion without regard for the facts or logic.

  • Clarified how? The law doesn't affect state taxes, just Federal. Explain it, don't just make claims you can't back up.

    What "donate" issue are you talking about? That's stupid. Are you talking about the employer option to transfer to individuals the 7.6% in employer paid FICA? EXPLAIN yourself.

    World's highest sales tax on only BRAND NEW goods and services vs. 50% in income taxes or the world's (2nd) highest corporate tax rate?

    You need to back yourself up with facts rather than just lie.

  • That's not true. Your just talking about the FICA portion that they already contribute "on your behalf" and that doesn't account for the full impact of costs dropping. There is the corporate income taxes all the way through production as well as the massive compliance costs.

    You're misunderstanding the impact of what was said.
