His tax wouldn't be fair if it's a flat sales tax across the board!

Rich people don't spend money. They INVEST money.

The poorer you are, the higher the percentage of your income is SPENT rather than INVESTED. Therefore, a flat sales tax actually overtaxes the poor and undertaxes the rich, who shouldn't care less about taxes, but oooooh how badly they do!

"Death tax" like what? Stupid doublespeaking bastards.

If you had noticed or read up on teh fair tax that many politicians are beginning to back, there would be a prebate given that would account for average costs of necessities.

This PDF will explain to you how the prebate works so poor families aren't hit as hard from teh sales tax increase.

 

 Oh word.  Thanks for clearing that up.
