FairTax's Plausible Solution

Submitted by dculling, Jan 11, 2008 06:47

I love the idea of the FairTax so much I've been staying up and posting in forums discussing it. What I've been finding lately is the idea is catching on. :)

I can't wait till I have control over how much tax I pay. When times are tough I go frugal and buy used things, clip coupons, buy generic or whatever. When times are good, psst, pay the tax, who cares.

I can't wait for the economic growth that's sure to happen. When our goods have a permanent 22% discount overseas then maybe China will buy our toys, they don't want their kids to eat lead either lol.

It's all good. :)
