Hmm, John I actually changed my mind after hearing your guest make his argument. This was a very enlightening show! Get him on again!

the fairtax is so labeled because our income tax unfairly favors imports while handing out a fine for domestic production calling it an income tax. The unequal treatment between imports domestic products is what the FairTax fixes though taxing consumption of both equally.

The other problem of how much of your liberty is stolen from us though governance beyond our consent to be governed needs to be addressed not though how we collect, but by calling for spending cuts.

@MarkDouglasC and your 35 other youtube aliases

What is the difference between you buying yourself a loaf of bread and your state buying one for you? Besides the fact that you pay the government to buy the loaf of bread, nothing. You consume it either way, and both you and the state currently pay the embedded cost of income capital gain, corporate income and other taxes.

Exempting government consumption will cause every one will ask the government to give them everything.

NawLeans is Mark Douglas. No, states don't pay fed govt thru the nose in taxes w/ Fair Tax. Fair Tax is CONSUMPTION based. Actually lowers taxation & broadens the tax base, is revenue neutral, levels the playing field.

Ignore Mark Douglas. He has no idea just how much we're already taxed. Fair Tax is the only way to go to bring back jobs, trillions in offshore tax havens, & put money back into every citizen's pocket.

There is no such thing as a fair tax. Every system of taxation will be abused. Taxes collected will be squandered and wasted. History is replete with examples. Congress cannot be trusted. The Federal Reserve is a gang of banking "Mobsters" and the people want to debate over a "fair tax"? What a joke. Obviously Americans never learn. The only fair tax is NO tax. Get out of the way and let the people control their own destiny. Quit blabbing and revolt. Bring back the spirit of.1775.

Funny --- you lunatics want a national sales tax -- on your state? Yes, state government would pay this same high sales tax. Learn what the Fairtax is --

Its the worlds highest sales tax -- and guess who pays it?

State governments pay it, morons. Thats right -- all governments pay it -- on highways, medicare payments, cop cars, prisons, whatever.

You same morons that want a national sales tax like Fairtax, would be bitching like babies if it passed.

[NawwLeans]

Do you mind telling me where the state and local government will GET the money if Fairtax passes on national level?

Cause Fairtax on national level charges ALL governments, state,local, county, this same very very high sales tax.

Does your state pay any medical bills for poor -- guess what -- with FT, you would have to pay SALES tax on top of that.

You would pay sales tax on new roads, bridges, prisons -- on everythign you spend for prisons except salaries.

[NawwLeans]

A sales tax on state level makes sense. The devil is in the details -- on all tax plans, but at least a state level sales tax makes sense.

The so called "Fairtax" on national level is another bird. For one thing -- it would tax state and local governments this same sales tax. Thats right - all government levels PAY this "fairtax", which would be the worlds highest sales tax.

That means a state would pay the worlds highest sales tax on everything.

Its crazy as hell.
