What do you think of the Fair Tax that is being talked about?

read it, understand it, diffuse the lies about it, spread the truth, and support it via letters, e/m's/ phone calls anything that gets the powers at be to understand we want it!!!

There's not much to say about it. It's fair and that's exactly why politicians won't go for it. Wouldn't it be great to truly understand our tax system though? No need to fight through tax forms and never really know if you're getting all of the deductions you qualify for.

The good side is that people have control over how much tax they pay by adjusting their spending habits.

Good: You will pay a tax rate that is dependent on the lifestyle you want to live. If you want a cadillac you will pay more for it. If you want to be frugal and buy a Hyundai, you will pay less.

Bad: It will negatively impact the middle class much more than the upper class since the middle class tends to spend more disposable income on consumer goods.

If it is truly "fair", meaning EVERYBODY pays the same percentage regardless of income or number of dependents or anything else, I'm all for it. If it makes even one concession for anyone, then it's not "fair" and I don't like it.

There is no such thing as a fair tax.. Taxes are illegal.

I think that it is a misnomer.
