No, Judy, you are not being honest. You specifically stated the alleged "FairTax" . . .eliminates all federal income based taxes on businesses and individuals."
Contrary to you assertion, if the alleged fairtax were passed, Congress may still lay and collect an income based tax such as the Corporate excise tax of 1909.
See:
FLINT v. STONE TRACY CO.,
This tax, it is expressly stated, is to be equivalent to 1 per centum of the entire net income over and above $5,000 received from all sources during the year,-this is the measure of the tax explicitly adopted by the statute. The income is not limited to such as is received from property used in the business, strictly speaking, but is expressly declared to be upon the entire net income above $5,000 from all sources, excluding the amounts received as dividends on stock in other corporations, joint stock companies or associations, or insurance companies also subject to the tax. In other words, the tax is imposed upon the doing of business of the character described, and the measure of the tax is to be income, with the deduction stated, received not only from property used in business, but from every source.
Judy, if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck . . . it must be a duck. The alleged "fairtax" does not eliminate all federal income based taxes as you allege.
Why are you making stuff up?
