With the IRS politicians pick who gets punished with taxes. Corporations are one of their favorites. You even said that the lower taxes in Germany make it possible for them to sell to China! The FairTax is revenue neutral - a big think tank figured out how much taxes are imbedded in everything. The FairTax recovers that same money at the cash register. Products will cost LESS at the store but you will pay the same when you leave the store after adding the FairTax. And you start with your ENTIRE PAYCHECK. No Federal, Social Security or Medicare Taxes. And everyone pays - criminals, illegals, and tourists. The monthly PREBATE assures that no one below the poverty level pays any tax. U.S. Businesses will be able to COMPETE on the international market! It is a no-brainer. What's SCARY is that more people don't read the book. We need this!
