LiberalHater: I agree that the Federal Reserve is full of "stuff." However, your assertion that "A meager $10,000 salary at McDonalds (where Gavin Volaire works) would actually be worth $220,000 if the Fed didn't exist" would only hold true if a McDonalds worker was paid $10,000/year in 1913. It would have been more like $300.<br> <br> <br> Rob, NC: You said: "people will see everytime they purchase an item how much their government actually costs." This unfortunately won't be true unless it is part of the law that retailers write on the receipts how much of the purchase went to the government. That might be a good idea. The FairTax as written has the tax included in the price as posted on the shelf at the retailer (that is why the discussion about "inclusive" vs. "exclusive" tax reporting comes up). The tax is not added at the register the way current sales taxes are done.fl7e8
