Re: FairTax - Benefits TODAY, Best for TOMORROW
by nyscribbler

I don't believe this so called quote. If all income groups benefit then all pay less taxes. When that happens the govt gets less revenue. So this only works if you assume Congress will cut taxes. The other assumption- if you want to make it is that your tax will somehow grow the economy. Thats not a "fair" assumption at all. Why don't you supply some logic instead of just quotes.

While you're at it explain to me why I would agree to be taxed twice- first with an income tax when I saved my nest egg, then when I spend my nest egg.

Next, explain why just because we get rid of tax breaks for the rich with this change, they can't at more tax breaks on that fair tax in the next session of Congress.

Thanks.
