[FairTaxHub]

Posts including profanity and personal attacks have been and will continue to be removed.

FairTaxHUB is meant to push the FairTax conversation forward. The FairTax idea is powerful and would revolutionize this country economically and by extension socially. The current system is punishing work ethic and ambition...the very things a slowing economy needs more of. We at the HUB are not focused on what the tax percentage is or if government taxes its own services. Its the overall idea we need.

@gemini1766 The FairTax favors ALL LEGAL US CITIZENS. If you live here or visit here, you will pay the same taxes, regardless. What that does is puts illegal immigrants and the underground economy on the same, level, playing field as us Americans. Illegal Immigrants don't pay income taxes because they can't report income, drug dealers don't report income made on selling drugs, and prostitutes don't report income on what they earn. BUT! They ALL have to buy things to survive.

@gemini1766 Not true. The fairtax plan rebates directly to everyone enough to cover all taxes paid for low income spending. If that's all you spend, you will pay no net taxes. But for everything you spend above that level, you pay full taxes, with no deductions.

@gemini1766 AMERICA became prosperous BECAUSE of industrious PEOPLE. We started off in a wild, untamed country and PEOPLE it, not bureaucrats. This country was founded on NATURAL RIGHTS - that is, GOD-GIVEN rights of individuals NOT to be punished for whatever talents they have been blessed with (not their doing) and APPLYING it. Charity is a moral responsibility, not a crooked politicians mandate. It is WRONG to force individuals to pay for subjects or ideals they do not agree with.

This is the USA, the wealthy got that way because of how great a country we have, let them pay for that priviledge. Regan had them paying 36%, and under Ike they were paying 90%. Let's go to a nice even 50% and tax the hell out of inheratence over $10Million in total (not to each individual) at 75%. Those people did not earn the parents' money, after all.

The "Fair Tax" system favors those who make lots of money, as their purchases do not make up a considerable portion of their yearly income, unlike the average person who currently has to watch every penny. Such Taxes are not fair. They only appear to be, and when you find that such a tax has been implimented, it's too late to change it in a reasonable amount of time. The rich are better off while the rest of us get rolled, again.

The IRS and the current US tax system can go fuck themselves.

Not only that, but it already collects taxes from government spending through embedded taxes in government purchases and taxes on government employee wages.

Mr. Murphy Know Nothing.

Your outrage over government collecting taxes on its spending is selective and therefor disingenuous.

Federal taxes already embed them selfs in government spending though federal taxes on public employee wages, and private (wages and profit) from government purchases.

Ever wonder why your the only one who complains about this? Everyone else sees though your smoke screen.

so... the government has to pay taxes to itself so it can spend taxes on itself... all of this will have to administered... which will cost money (taxes)...

hmmmm,
