For one thing -- to ...Fair tax is actually absurd. For one thing -- to think you can "make the government be a major taxpayer" is just silly. Fairtax would tax helicpoters, jets, submarines, radar, air craft carriers. This -- by itself -- the the looniest idea since do it your self dentistry. <BR/><BR/>How can you have the military pay 300Billion in taxes? You cant. Thats like paying yourself to 1,000 dollars to cut your grass. Oh, sure you can write the check , you can even cash the check. But you dont earn 1000 dollars.<BR/><BR/>The FAIRT actually COUNTS the money they "tax" the government, like a person counting that 1000 they paid themselves to cut their own grass, as income.<BR/><BR/>PLus -- Fairtax cant tax surgery, chemotherapy, nursing home care, etc. The back lash would be horrific -- and deserved.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
