Fairtax is farce. Sorry - -that's what it is

No one will vote for the world's highest sale tax on your RENT. Yes, Fairtax is on rent. It's on medical cost, food, car insurance.

It could if spending was cut enough.

The Fair Tax was the best idea on that stage. Now I think you should cut the size of government by at least 50%. This would make it so we could get the Fair Tax at 18% to replace everything. This would make it so the rich can create jobs, because it doesn't attack productivity like the current system does. And it gives the poor and middle class a chance to become rich, because a middle class person could live on only the basics so they wont pay taxes and could us that money to start a business.

What an Awful Moderator, Hey Hunny its not about YOU, its about THEM, let the men speak you Ugly Arrogant Condescending Haag !

If there was ever a case to NOT have a moderator at a Debate, its this one

The entire tax code is a fraud for most people. Very few of current payers are actually taxable within the current code. The tax funds collected from average citizens currently goes to pay interest on the national debt. The banksters at the FED reserve, will never allow the current fraud to be exposed and hence will not change the code. Eliminate the FED. Funding our defense is NOT the issue. Ron Paul 2008!

Hey Fair tax fairies - I will wash your ass and drink the water, if the Fair tax could be 23%. It would be a nightmare even at 23%, but it will have to the 50%. YOu really think cancer patients will pay 30K tax on their surgery and chemo? Health care will get exemptions. You think the Navy wont have to pay 1 billion dollar sales tax on a submarine? Military will get exemptions. So will a lot of others. The rate will be over 50%. Be careful what you wish for.
