@cdoftx The fallacy of your counterargument is that taxes on the wealthy (notice you left that part out--only a handful of ultrarightwingers are calling for higher taxes on the midclasses now) have been much higher in the past (they were basically twice as high under Reagan, &were higher under C...

The math error of this video is evident in the graph at the :59 mark--if you get 100% of your current wages (nothing deducted),that is STILL an expense for the business.That money you are getting is part of the 22% of the left hand column. Therefore, the only savings to the business would be abou...

Another math trick being pulled by backers with respect to "Keep your whole paycheck!" comes when they count the same monies twice to claim that prices wld stay the same as now. What they do is say "costs are reducd 22% (embedded)& then you keep your whole paycheck, & then the tax is added!"The e...

Read tiny url 593htl . It is a link to supporters' own research. The important part to read is page 30 on, "Appendix: Households’ Well-Being under the FairTax", in which they clearly state that according to their research those making from $15,000 to $150,000 a year would on average pay MORE in ...

The "Fair" Tax is a horrible idea and would hammer the middleclasses. This is from fairtaxorg's OWN research: "Not every household would benefit equally, however. (edit) Mid-income category households* would lose because the FairTax would impose a relatively higher tax rate on them." *tinyurl 59...

Before some FT/NASTI fans get more confused: what I am saying here is with respect to business economics-- with respect to businesses cost of goods-- there is no such thing as "embedded income taxes", only embedded wages, because the business CANNOT KNOW what amount of wages it pays is paid in by...

@dtvgmedia You are making the usual mistake fans of the "Fair" Tax aka National Sales Tax -Inclusive aka NASTI make-- if people keep ALL of their paycheck (keeping the amounts currently deducted for SS and IncTax), the bussiness STILL has that as an expense. And you are forgetting that the 23% sa...

The real way the "Fair"Tax works is to increase the effective taxes of the middleclasses and lower the effective taxes of the wealthy. This is very clear in their own research at tiny url 593htl, page 30 on ( pay particular notice to Table 13, years 7-8 and 15-16 to see how they fudge it), and th...

@sportstuber11 Another thing to notice in their research at that link is their "GDP goes up" argument-- it sounds great, until one realizes that pretty much all of the reward of that increase goes to those making more than $150,000 a year, with some going to the poor (the "prebate" partly creates...

@HumbleWillis You almost got it, you were on the brink of seeing the trick they are pulling with "income mobility" to fudge the truth... hopefully by now you understand in which income brackets the person "would lose" ( that's $15k to $150k in income) and which they would be "better off" (have hi...

@CCDesigner71 Close, but the Americans For Fair Taxation's own data is at tinyurl 593htl. The facts are there for those who understand them, and who understand Table 13 and Table 5.

The "Fair" Tax is basically class warfare,the wealthy declaring war on the middleclasses by raising their effective tax rates. It would, by Americans for Fair Taxation's own admission, on avg. raise the effective taxes of those making from $15k to $150k a year while lowering the effective rate o...

then, you "bring home everything you make"-- business still has to pay the same as before except for 7.65% of wages, just giving it all to you instead of gov. The MAX savings, in extreme cases, would be 7.65% (biz with no costs except wages). So items now cost= (100%-7.65%)*30%, or 120.55% of wh...
