I'm waiting for just one "Fair" tax advocate to look at the "Fair" tax "literature" & tell me I'm wrong THIS time.<br> <br> However--to your disappointment, I'm sure--I won't be holding my breath.<br> <br> The "Fair" tax was, is, & always will be an idiotic idea--as was the 16th Amendment.<br> <br> Other problems with the "Fair" tax:<br> <br> What prevents government from raising the tax rate or monkeying around with the prebate & the threshold once the "Fair" tax is in place?<br> <br> PLEASE don't tell me it will be in the legislation that they will be prohibited from doing so. That kind of legislation means about as much to the hogs in Washington as the Supreme Court's decision in favor of the Cherokees did to Jackson or state rights did to Lincoln. Might does not make right, but might MAKES. Period.<br> <br> What prevents government from insisting on keeping the IRS in place while it phases in the "Fair" tax, then once it's in place, we're stuck with BOTH?<br> <br> Do you people really believe for a minute that politicians are going to cede power back to us absent a revolution?<br> <br> What will the cost be for the cushy severance & entitlement packages lavished on all of those displaced IRS "workers"?<br> <br> I'm just getting warmed up, but I'll stop for now.<br> <br> One thing Neal is right about:<br> <br> We're screwed.
