My thoughts on this issue take a cynical view, likely because of the inaccurate ways and means by which the people who wish to keep us under the heavy burden of the status quo, have taken as their tactics.

As i see it, the fair tax will likely never see the light of day, because the lies the opponents spread have duped the ignorant morons of the public into believing that original tax prices would remain, while an additional 23% would be added to what we already pay.

That’s simply, not how it goes Mr. Sugg. It’s a replacement of our current system, not an addition to it. There would be nothing additional whatsoever. Look at it like this, every paycheck you get, the government takes their cut. This would be the end of that. No more tax deductions from your pay. We would all, make more money.

What’s not to like about that?

The facts here seem to indicate that since Boortz is not black, nor is he a vehement supporter of Barack Obama, suddenly any and all points of view he supports are invalid.

He’s not a democrat! So burn him at the stake!

You know what’s the underlying cause of this? Where does the motivation for this opposition originate? Reverse racism.

But no, Boortz is not a republican, either. So get your story straight, know your enemy, before you attempt to dismantle their talking points.

People who make those large sums have sophisticated financial measures in place so that they do not show all of that money as income. They can get loopholes created by the Congressmen they buy.

The “rich” consume FAR more than the poor and this would tax them more effectively than our loophole ridden tax code.

The Fair Tax will also catch the black market in the US. Even criminals like Big Meech and all those “undocumented workers” would pay Federal taxes.

Tell me, have you actually read the book or just the talking points against the Fair Tax?

The fair tax shifts the tax burden off the very rich and onto the middle class. The claim that the fairtax will generate the same revenues is ridiculous. If you tax based on consumption then you are decreasing the tax on the very rich. Someone making 12 million a year does not consume 4 times more than someone making 4 million a year. That difference has to be made up by increasing the amounts the middle class pays.

The fair tax is a scam that preys on the fact that people do not like the IRS and they do not like taxes. It’s promoters like Bortz love to misrepresent and sensationalize the evil government “putting a gun to your head” to collect taxes. They believe that taxes should be paid by the working people and the rich should get a free ride. They support billions of dollars tax breaks to big oil during record profit periods. Then we are expected to believe that Neal Bortz is suddenly on the side of being “Fair”. What the fair tax does not tell you is who they think they are being fair to.
