That's why it is so ripe for black marketeering. When taxes were raised on cigarettes, truckloads were hijacked. People would buy from the black market because they could get their smokes for less than half the legal costs.
With this tax, manufacturers could certainly increase their profits by selling out the back door. And it would be easy to get away with it because there is no IRS auditing their income and expenses.
Further down the line, any distributor could sell a truckload to a blackmarketeer and make an untracked profit.
And an illegal alien would love to get that discount, as well as many legal citizens and aliens.
So it would create a new crime cartel.
If they purchase from a legitimate retailer. You are either playing ignorant, or you are!
Correct! So they are off the books. No one is watching them if they sell to some illegal syndicate. So easy to get around your sales tax.
But those entities get nothing from blackmarketeers. And those people buying from black markets can receive their Rebates like the people who are paying the tax, so criminals are being subsidized by the FairTax. Then, the FairTax rate would have to be raise to cover the loss, on the backs of the people who believed it would be cheaper than Income Tax!
So why do so many illegal aliens steal somebody's ID? Nothing will change there with the FairTax!
The FairTax is supposedly calculated to collect the same amount of revenue that the Income Tax currently does. So, unless the rate is raised, which Congress will be able to do at it's whim, it will accomplish none of what you claim!
Just like your many claims of what the FairTax would do are just projections that will not come to fruition!
WRONG AGAIN! ANOTHER FALSE CLAIM AS IT IS RATED TO EQUAL THE TAXES IT IS REPLACING. IT CURES NOTHING!
Unless you want the Rebate or sell something!
Especially if you evade paying the tax by buying from the newly created, robust black market!
Whether they need it or not!
Not if they recognize the Snake-Oil that it is!
