What makes their labor special? Labor is involved in the sale of all new goods and services. Why are they seeking special treatment? I don't understand why they would prefer to pay income tax under the present system instead of collect FairTax and earn a fee for doing so. But whatever ..... not my problem. I'll have to fill out FairTax sales reports that I don't have to do now under our state sales tax, but I don't mind. Well worth it to be rid of the income tax system we now have and give our country the FairTax. Plus you make money doing the reports, so you're not going to get any sympathy from me on this. Not one whit.
