Joe The Plumber on FairTax

Joe the Plumber, famous from the 2008 elections and the most famous plumber in USA, takes on the IRS and argues why FairTax is the way to go. Joe the Plumber argues and demands that you vote on the FairTax, which would eliminate the current IRS system. FairTax will not tax on income but on sales tax, according to Joe the Plumber.

@Thewizzardof9 but one answer to the last 2 is transparency. You don't notice your taxes now. so congress can play games screwing one group to benefit others. under the FT if the tax goes up or down it will show on everyones receipt. weather or not you get it all back at the beginning of the month or not, you'll know

question 1) yes. I do too. so does everyone. that's fair as I see it. question 2) agreed. big ol' loophole there. my guess is the nominees will try to buy votes by promising to raise the poverty level for bigger prebates they'll raise the tax rate or cut spending to make up for it. or just make it up out of thin air. that's why we have votes. 3) one step at a time here. you want to go after the state government go ahead. not my biz. unless it's my state. then I'm with you. (cont)

@laudanum4u thank you for you reply, I still have questions. if I have saved money and I have already paid taxes on it I will be taxed again when I make a purchase, Is that Fair? on the prebate This is a government controlled Subsidy, they can raise and lower it at any time and I am now dependent on the government. do you trust the government? on top of state sales tax it is 30% on a purchase How is that fair? what about sin tax and gas tax, and many other taxes?

@Thewizzardof9 I ask you to read the bill and reconsider that comment. No offence intended here. just read the bill or the books describing the bill. you'll understand when you do.

the problem is the Fair tax is not fair, it only effects income tax. The income tax is one of many taxes we pay and it is the cheapest tax we pay. if it is so fair why do they want to send out checks to 60% of the people monthly as a rebate?

The Fair Tax is a great idea. Yet I want it at 18% which could be done by big government cuts. Abolishing entitlements and all unconstitutional federal departments. Get it at 18% have all made in America products go down in price 4% and make us more competitive as a whole.

[TaxTheGovernment]

I see a lot wrong with the present tax code -- mostly because work, wages and self employed pay up to 300% higher tax rates on the SAME money.

Just because you worked for your money -- you are taxed far higher?? Why not tax all income the same.

Still -- the fairtax is pure BS hoax. It pretends to get almost 2 trillion by taxing the government. Its total bs, and fairtax leaders know it. Its not a serious plan at all. It's a hoax, a farce.

Please psot your findings. A tax system such as this has never been tried so I'd be intrigued to see the detaisl on Slovakia.

Seriously?

How about 'punishes success'

How about 'Impossible to comply with'

How about 'destroys business'

How about 'forces jobs and industry overseas'

Seriously?
