We need a president who will support a Fair Tax. If the Republican Party wants to succeed they'll back this and make it so every leader they nominate has signed a pledge not to vote for an unbalanced budget.

Want to save Detroit? Tired of the lable "Made in China?" Want to take home your entire paycheck? Want a monthy check from the Federal govt? FAIR TAX is the yes answer to all of the above.

ONeof the "tricks" of the "Fair" Tax: backers will claim their models show the economy is "better", gdp up, but it depends on how one defines "better", as having a higher GDP does NOT mean that the increase is going to all citizens. HOW is the GDP increase achieved? By taxing the middleclasses more, in effect making them work MORE to have to have the same life as now, while the income of the wealthy skyrockets at lower taxe rates than they pay now. Yes, the wealthy would have it "better"....

@Drgn70 You stupid fucking idiot -- service providers? you fucking idiot, all military pay is taxed.

Got that you stupid fuck. All military PENSIONS are taxed. Got that you stupid fuck.

New York City, you stupid fuck, would have to pay 8 billion -- 3 billion IN ADVANCE.

Got that you stupid fucking moron. I know more about Fairtax than you know about your dick, moron.

Another trick the backers of the "Fair" Tax AKA National Sales Tax-Inclusive AKA NASTI are pulling-- it's a backdoor way to do away with Social Security. Notice that there is no way to tell how little or how much one has worked, so any disbursements would be equal-- those who do no work would get the same as those who worked their whole lives. Sneaky backers dodge the issue on their site by alleging that SocSec "operates exactly as it does today".. which is clearly impossible, wages not known.

@Drgn70 As for a select family of four example- with all monies spent (usual at that income) and allowing 10% being on non-taxed items (used items, charity donations), I get that they are taxed about $700, whereas now they would likely be at a negative tax (receive more than they paid in). With the increase in prices due to tax (both sides admit anywhere from 5-25%), what they can buy is greatly diminished. FTorg/BHI studies admit this.

@Drgn70 The tiny url 593htl still works (last letter is an "L"), and has worked for over a year. YT doesn't allow full URLs AFAIK. Just type "tinyurl" then dotcom then forward slash then 593htl in the browser address line.

"Service providers are not exempt from the income tax today, and should not be exempt from the FairTax." It was very easy to find. Do you think a garbage collector from a private company pay while the government garbage collection be tax free? There is more discussion about this on the FairTax site. I'll try to find more on that if you need more on this. If you read more about it, it makes sense.

BTW, tinyurl's are temporary. If you want to give a straight Url, that would be better. I'd have to take a look at the stuff you are reading in order to give you a good response. In the table I posted, a family of four -- two parents and two kids, with a bit over 29K, in income would have zero tax with the prebate.

On second thought maybe an updated Url. I just tried a full Url and couldn't post.
