I can't see how that would help.

How? They can buy goods just like everybody else. It won't stop them from getting a job. It won't jeep their kids out of our schools.

How? You keep claiming that it doesn't not change excise tax and tariffs. Cheap foreign labor will still be cheap foreign labor.

Finally something believable!

Amazing how you can conjure up all these things from nothing.

He can't do anything about inflation or you. I want him to concentrate on my problems, not yours.

Why do you support the FairTax?

I don't know who that was directed to because I think it is clear that I don't support your FairTax. I can agree with some parts of it, as I have said, but overall I find it unacceptable!

I see. So your position is you, jtdc, oppose the FairTax as "unacceptable!". I want my thread to be clear on this, because you were kind of waffling around there for a bit and you know how the world feels about wafflers.

See the line? Pick a side, shit or get off the pot, either you're with US or you're against US, you're either in or you're out, etc., etc., etc. That makes you off, against and .... out.

You can't see anything in front of you! From my very first post in this thread, the fourth post in this thread, I said "I am for a different tax system. But I see many flaws in this 'FairTax'." From there I cited over four claims that you said the FairTax does that I don't believe it does.

So where did I waffle? I guess when your "facts" don't hold up, you try to list support that isn't there.

I did pick a side. It was not the side you wanted me to pick. But hey, I am free to think for myself!

What side did you pick?

Yes. And that disproves your assertion that

"There are very few "embedded" federal taxes outside of federal income tax."

There are countless federal taxes embedded in every consumer article you purchase.
The quote was: “More than half the price of a loaf of bread is made up of 151 taxes that have accumulated between the wheat field and grocer’s shelf.” Are you really going to suggest a major number of those taxes are not federally imposed?


Aside from that, I see you are still unwilling to discuss the consequences connected to the alleged fairtax entitlement called “the family consumption allowance”.


Tell us, Judy, under the alleged fairtax and its family consumption entitlement, how many more “poor working people” would have a vested interest in voting for progressives, socialists and communists during election time who would promise to work to increase the family consumption entitlement? Is this not how Fifth Column members of Congress stay in power in our nation’s poorest voting districts ____ by offering their constituency free government cheese?
Tell us Judy, why are you so eager to create another entitlement, which would help our Fifth Column members in Congress to remain in power by promising our nation’s poor during each election time to alter the fairtax and enlarge the family consumption entitlement?

If we can make 51 percent of America’s population dependent upon the federal government for its subsistence [the fairtax family consumption allowance check] we can then bribe them for their vote, keep ourselves in power and keep the remaining portion of America’s productive population enslaved to pay the bills ____ Our Fifth Column’s long term strategy ___ a plan to establish a federal plantation that confiscates and then redistributes the bread which labor, business and investors have worked to produce

No, there not countless federal taxes embedded in the price of your products when you pass the FairTax.

What you said and I quoted above had nothing to do with the alleged fairtax.

Additionally, I see you are still unwilling to discuss the consequences connected to the alleged fairtax entitlement called the "family consumption allowance". And it happens to be one of the major flaws in the proposal.

From all the commentary on this thread, it seems you're the only one here that has chosen what the majority of Americans and the U.S. Congress would consider the wrong side. You're hyping a fantasy that will never materialize into actuality. The plan is not feasible for the majority of Americans but please don't let that stop you from advertising a lost cause

After almost two decades of floating around aimlessly, it seems you would have taken the hint by now that the unfair tax plan like is sluggish horse without a race to run in or a stable to sleep in. I say it's past time to put it out of its misery.
